Great video as always Michael, 

 

So a high AGE diet in mice induces diabetes, vascular disease, kidney disease, and insulin resistance, and it looks like this is true in humans as well. I like the practical advice that the browning of food produces AGE’s and that foods rich in protein/fats contain the highest level of AGE’s. I use an instant pot to cook frequently, but probably use an air fryer way too often and really need to rethink this. Same with eating nuts/seeds are that aren’t raw.

 

Having that said, his suggestion to increase intake of fresh food, naturally high in polyphenols and anti-oxidants, along with intake of sodium free herbs and spices is something I certainly do.

 

Clearly the low AGE diet was very effective at reducing several inflammatory markers in patients with diabetes. I wonder about those without diabetes who are already healthy (beyond the one study referenced, which was the Birlouez et al 2010 paper).

 

I found the association between dietary AGE intake and asthma, risk of breast cancer, and risk of mortality after breast cancer to be of interest. But what really stood out to me during that portion of the presentation was the association with pancreatic cancer, given its terrible prognosis.

 

Keep the great videos coming!
