| Unleashed! Cancer bombshell revealed He couldn't take it anymore. Are These Toxic Compounds Taking Years from Your Life? When sugar molecules attach to proteins, the proteins can become damaged. This complex chemical process is called glycation. The result is a toxic molecule called an Advanced Glycation End Product (AGE). AGEs can be very damaging to your health. They cause inflammation. And they are closely related to heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's. AGEs form inside your body. This happens at a higher rate when your blood sugar is elevated. The more sugar you consume, the more AGEs develop. It has also been shown that simple sugars (like the fructose found in soft drinks) form these compounds at a much faster rate than glucose. But the foods you eat also contain Advanced Glycation End Products. AGEs form when foods (especially meats) are cooked or processed at high temperatures. Think grilling, frying, smoking or broiling. The same chemical process causes "browning" when you grill a steak or toast a piece of bread. The Journal of Gerontology published one recent study of AGEs. The researchers wanted to determine how age and diet influence the accumulation of these harmful compounds. They divided 172 healthy men and women into two age groups. The younger group consisted of subjects between 18 and 45. The older group was made up of subjects between 60 and 80. The researchers discovered that AGE levels were 35 percent higher in the older group. But they could also be very high in young people. In fact, the AGE levels in some of the young adults in the study were as high as those seen in diabetic patients. These high levels were associated with the consumption of AGE-rich foods. So how can you reduce AGEs in your diet? It's simple. Click here now to continue reading this article.The Heart Disease Scam That Generates Over $100 Billion a Year...
