The Claim
A four-week low-dAGE diet reduces systemic inflammation in young adults with prediabetes, as evidenced by a 15–20% decrease in serum C-reactive protein, independent of changes in body weight or fat mass.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Young adults with prediabetes who follow a low-dAGE diet for four weeks experience a 15–20% reduction in serum C-reactive protein levels, regardless of changes in body weight or fat mass.

Eating less food cooked at high temperatures lowers the amount of harmful compounds in the body that stick to liver cells. These compounds normally trigger a warning signal in the liver that causes inflammation. When the warning signal stops, the liver becomes better at responding to insulin, which reduces the need for the body to produce excess insulin after meals. This drop in insulin demand and inflammation leads to less CRP being released into the blood.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that young adults with prediabetes who ate food cooked at lower temperatures for four weeks had less inflammation in their blood — even though they didn’t lose much weight. So yes, eating less charred or processed food can lower inflammation without needing to lose weight.
