A first-of-it-s kind study conducted in India has found that a low-AGE (Advanced Glycation End products) diet could help lower the risk of diabetes.
India has been dubbed as the diabetes capital of the world, with over 101 million people suffering from this lifestyle disorder.
The study, a collaboration of the top medical panel Indian Medical Council of Research and Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, Chennai, focused on 38 overweight and obese adults, aged 25 to 45 years, all of whom had a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 23 or higher.
The researchers compared the effects of two diets, one high in AGEs and one low, over a 12-week period.
AGEs are harmful compounds formed when certain foods are cooked at high temperatures, especially in processed and fried foods.
These compounds are known to contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and other health problems, increasing the risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
