The link between sugar and premature aging If you eat/drink too much sugar from sweetened drinks, soda, cakes, cookies, candies, ice cream, etc., you consistently shoot your blood sugar levels through the roof and require your body to pump out more insulin to dispose of that blood sugar in the liver, in muscle cells, and also as body fat.... Consistently raising your blood sugar through all of these daily sugary foods and drinks also causes a reaction in your body that creates molecules called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). Having elevated levels of AGEs in your body can cause accelerated aging of your skin, as well as your organs. This is yet another reason why minimizing sugar intake (particularly processed sugars and HFCS) as well as minimizing other foods that spike your blood sugar (such as breads, pasta, cereals, muffins, bagels, etc.) can help reduce the amount of AGEs that are produced in your body and slow down the aging process!

Avoid white foods. Here's why There’s a lot of scientific legitimacy to today’s lower-carb diets. Large amounts of simple carbohydrates from white flour and added sugar can wreak havoc on your blood sugar and lead to weight gain. But you shouldn’t toss out the baby with the bathwater. One Harvard study of 74,000 women found that those who ate more than two daily servings of good, healthy foods were 49% less likely to be overweight than those who ate the white foods like flour, sugar and white rice.
