Although it's not news that
consuming refined-carbohydrates ages you, supplemental research in this area is coming out all the time. Recently,
National Public Radio reported Jay Olshansky, a professor at the
University of Illinois (Chicago) School of Public Health, saying that the basic advice hasn't changed: "...eat more
fruits and
vegetables." Moreover, a
study from just a few years back, authored by a Tufts University researcher, noted that high glycemic-index foods (e.g.
sugar, many
processed foods,
breads) contributed to vision loss after age 50, for a significant percentage of adults.
Need some basic info about flour and sugar intake? This
article does a pretty good job of explaining the basics of refined carbs (bad) versus complex carbs (good), and how sugar speeds up a natural aging process in the body called
glycation, which among other things, causes skin-wrinkling.
