Carbs make you older

I just learned that eating too much processed carbohydrates (like pasta, baked goods, sugar and bread) can lead to damage in your skin’s collagen, and collagen is a substance that keeps your skin springy and resists wrinkles (Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD). She is a nutrition policy consultant for the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. Processed carbohydrates produce inflammatory things called AGEs – advanced glycation end-products – which put your overall health on the line. They are tied to diseases like diabetes and heart disease, she says. Other foods, like fruits and vegetables, are good for your skin. Source: WebMD
