When you bake foods like bread or cookies, harmful chemicals form because of a few common chemical reactions in the heat—and if we can stop those key reactions, we can reduce several harmful substances at once.
When you cook food at high heat—like grilling or frying—it creates harmful compounds called AGEs, which can trigger your body’s inflammation system, making you more prone to chronic swelling and related health issues.
