Glycation and AGEs: what caramelises your skin
Advanced glycation end-products stiffen collagen and quietly accelerate skin ageing.
Glycation is sugar sticking to collagen and making it stiff, yellow, brittle. The process is slow, silent, and also touches vessels, lens and brain. The skin is only the visible witness.
This exploration lays out the mechanism (endogenous vs dietary AGEs), pinpoints the cooking methods that produce the most, and details the molecules that slow them down (carnosine, benfotiamine, polyphenols).
