The study found that low-AGE diets exhibited improvement in the insulin-sensitivity and reduction in the inflammatory levels compared to high-AGE diets. “The study for the first time in India revealed that low AGE diets could be a potential strategy to reduce diabetes risk,’’ it said. This current study has shown that consumption of AGE-rich foods leads to inflammation in the body, an underlying cause of diabetes. The high-AGE foods included those prepared by roasting, deep-frying, and shallow-frying, while the low-AGE foods included those cooked by boiling and steaming, in a short span of time. At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers found that insulin sensitivity was significantly increased in the low-AGE diet group, compared to the high-AGE diet group.
