How worried should teens be about what they consume in these years?

How does what one eat during this time impact them in the future? A lot of, if not most, teens eat quite a lot of sugar; carbs or sweets. I can't define how much since it differs..just, think an average, not trying to be super healthy teenager. Does this put them at a higher risk for diabetes, or other diseases (aside from obesity) even if they go healthier once they become adults?

Answer

Our society things kids and teens can eat a bunch of junk just because “they’re young.”

This is leading to increasing obesity rates, prediabetes, high blood pressure, etc in children to teens. Not to mention foods that are high in dyes are linked to ADHD in children.

Another issue is what is feeding them at school. Cafeteria food is notorious for being terrible foods like pizza, fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, burgers, pastries, ice creams, etc.
