Have you been keeping up with the AGE Foundation? It's dedicated to increasing public awareness and knowledge of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), and routinely features AGE-related articles and advice on its website, Facebook page and Twitter account.
The following are just some examples of recent articles that have been published on the AGE Foundation.
Maine newspaper encourages changing diet and cooking methods to lower AGEs: The Bangor Daily News, a family-owned newspaper in Maine, discussed AGEs in its article “Mix up your cooking methods, avoid sugar for anti-aging benefits.”
Author Georgia Clark-Albert wrote, “Today’s diets contain high levels of harmful compounds called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, which accumulate in the body over time. All of our cells are affected when too many AGEs build up, a process linked to aging and the development or worsening of chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular and liver diseases. AGEs contribute to increased oxidant stress and inflammation, which also are tied to the epidemic of diabetes.”
The article suggested cooking with moist heat, using shorter cooking times, cooking at lower temperatures, and using acidic ingredients such as lemon juice or vinegar in order to reduce AGEs. It also stated that whole grains, fruits and vegetables maintained low AGE levels after cooking.
Number of published AGE studies growing dramatically: The first two scientific studies about AGEs to be published were in 1989, according to PubMed. Since then, the number of AGE studies published each year has continued to grow and grow, with there being 573 in 2013 alone.
This AGE Foundation article features a list of the number of AGE studies each year starting with 1989. As one can see by looking at this list, AGEs are not an issue that’s going away anytime soon. Instead, they have been gaining a great deal of attention each year.
Publications everywhere are talking about AGEs: The AGE Foundation rounded up a group of articles from a wide variety of sources that mentioned AGEs in some way. This assortment included an article from news website Huffington Post, Pakistani newspaper The Express Tribune, Indian newspaper The Hindu, and even hip-hop magazine The Source.
Healthy lifestyle leads to better skin, says Bustle: Women’s interest website Bustle recently published a new article on AGEs, written by Pamela J. Stubbart.
She wrote, “Allegedly, AGEs are so bad for our skin that we should be counting them instead of calories.
"I was skeptical, so I investigated. As it turns out, AGEs are real: animal foods, fatty foods, and heat-processed foods contain the most AGEs. Peer-reviewed scientific evidence suggests that we should indeed take some care to reduce AGEs consumption because they have oxidative and inflammatory effects possibly related to heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases of the developed western world.”
