A topic which I hope Dr. Greger can discuss in future videos is endogenous
advanced glycation reactions, which appear to be the main culprit in skin aging, through collagen cross linking (as well as arterial stiffness, vision deteriation, really the whole gamut of aging disorders).
Not exact matches
Over a lifetime, an overactive immune system will contribute to an overproduction of AGE's,
advanced glycation end products, initiating oxidative
reactions within cells that will gradually damage organs throughout the body.
We study the influence of the Maillard
reaction (leading to
advanced glycation endproducts, AGEs) on the function of specific proteins which are involved in the axonal transport.
Moreover, consumption of Maillard chemical products (also called
Advanced Glycation Products, or AGEs for short) formed by
reactions between lysine and sugars is a common occurrence in cooking that leads to brown colors called Maillard products.
Grilling or barbecuing foods provokes a chemical
reaction, especially in meats, that creates
advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
Sugar forms
advanced glycation end products (AGEs) when it reacts with amino acids and fats, a process which can occur in food itself during cooking and also in metabolic
reactions inside the body.15 In cooking, the process is called the Maillard
reaction, which gives breads and meats their browned, caramelized aroma and appearance.
Glycation leads to deleterious chemical complexes called AGEs (advanced glycation end products) that result from common but undesirable reactions between blood sugars, such as glucose, and proteins in many parts of our bodies, including the lenses of

When food is browned or caramelized as part of the Maillard
reaction, reducing sugars spontaneously react with lipids, nucleic acids, and aminopeptides, creating
advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in a process that generates free radicals, inflammation, and ensuing intestinal permeability (Vlassara & Uribarri, 2004; Bengmark, 2007).
Dietary
advanced glycation endproducts from browned meats (and sadly, also toast) accelerate the Maillard
reaction in vivo by depleting our AGE receptor (PMID: 22908267), while numerous phytochemicals appear to interrupt
glycation (see Odjakova et al..
