The Claim
A six-month low-advanced glycation end-product diet in kidney transplant recipients significantly reduced dietary AGE intake by 70% (from median 18,047 to 5,515 kU/day) with moderate adherence (69%), demonstrating that dietary modification is feasible but challenging in this population.
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.
Kidney transplant recipients who followed a low-advanced glycation end-product diet for six months reduced their dietary AGE intake by 70%, with 69% adherence, showing that such dietary changes are possible but difficult to maintain.

When people eat less food cooked at high heat, fewer harmful chemicals enter the body through the gut. These chemicals normally build up in tissues over time, but cutting them from the diet reduces their levels in the blood and organs.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who got kidney transplants were taught to eat food cooked in water instead of grilled or fried, and most cut their unhealthy food chemicals by about 70%—but only about two-thirds stuck with it. So yes, it works, but it’s hard to keep up.
