Browning Yourself With Fructose

Why is sugar, and especially fructose, such a health minefield?  Among other things, the risk comes for AGE.  Read on:

Take Home Messages:

• Sugars in baked goods or blood, react with amino acids or proteins to make inflammatory AGEs.
• Blood sugar tests only measure glucose and ignore fructose, which is even more unhealthy.  So, foods laced with fructose can be low glycemic, but very unhealthy.
• The major AGE in blood is HgA1C.
• Diabetics have more stable, lower blood sugar on low carb diets, e.g. my Anti-Inflammatory Diet.  The liver produces needed blood sugar from protein.
• Diabetic use of fructose or agave nectar or honey encourages AGE, inflammation and diseases of diabetes.
• Starch (not RS) is the only polysaccharide digested by gut enzymes and is high glycemic.
• AGE is inflammatory leading to artery plaque and hypertension.
• AGE as browned foods are probably tolerated by the body.
