The Claim

A four-week low-dAGE diet reduces skin advanced glycation end products in young adults with prediabetes, as measured by decreased skin autofluorescence.

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.

Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Young adults with prediabetes who follow a low-dAGE diet for four weeks show lower levels of advanced glycation end products in their skin, as measured by skin autofluorescence.

See the scientific wording

A four-week low-dAGE diet reduces skin advanced glycation end products in young adults with prediabetes, as measured by decreased skin autofluorescence, suggesting that dietary dAGEs contribute to tissue accumulation of these compounds.

Why this might work

When people eat less food cooked at high temperatures, fewer harmful compounds enter the body. These compounds normally stick to proteins in tissues and build up over time. With less of them in the blood, they bind less to a receptor that triggers inflammation. Less inflammation means fewer new harmful compounds form inside the body, and existing ones break down more easily, leading to less buildup in the skin.
