Eating lots of or very little of certain foods that have AGEs (like grilled or fried foods) for six weeks doesn’t seem to change how well your small blood vessels work in healthy people aged 50 to 69.

Dietary intake of advanced glycation end products did not affect endothelial function and inflammation in healthy adults in a randomized controlled trial.
Scientists gave people two different diets—one with lots of browned foods (high AGEs) and one with gently cooked foods (low AGEs)—for six weeks and checked their blood vessel function. Neither diet changed how well their blood vessels worked, so eating more or fewer AGEs for a short time doesn’t seem to affect blood vessel health in middle-aged and older adults.
