Advanced glycation end(AGE)products have been linked to diseases such as type-2 diabetes.

Experts said the results were "compelling" but did not provide "definitive answers".
「糖化終產物」(AGE)與第二型糖尿病等疾病相關。被餵食高量「糖化終產物」飲食的老鼠,
大腦裡會積累危險的蛋白質,傷害認知功能。專家說,這種結果相當有說服力,但並未提供確定性的答案。
AGEs are formed when proteins or fats react with sugar. This can happen naturally and during the cooking process.
「糖化終產物」是在蛋白質或脂肪與糖反應時形成,會自然產生,也會在烹調過程中產生。
