    Foro sure, sugar is a toxin really, it just happens to taste good. Useless calories with no nutritional value at all!. I had a huge battle with cellulite for 10 years but I finally found a way to get rid of them :) You can read how I did it, www.cellulitefreetips.com It's my personal blog.

    Another helpful article. But do you mean that it is only at age 35 that you have to worry about sugar affecting your skin's appearance, or that at that age your cumulative exposure to sugar catches up with you? Also, could you post about your favorite hair care products? Your hair in your pic is so pretty. I have a similar curly texture.

    Comments are made in so much areas of life, health inclusive just like messages of salvations are being preached but the great Q is how many believed this report? Sad to sa Micheal is gone leaving behind memories, what do we the living benefit from his life time acheivements and woes? Lets not forget that Jesus is Lord.

    I don't necessarily believe that you can equate a definite outcome that if you eat sweets you will get wrinkles. My brother is 51. He loves sweets and his skin is still very youthful. In fact, his daily regimen is Pepsi and Recess chocolate.He could pass for 38 years old. Even myself, I am 40 years old and believe me...I have a sweet tooth. My skin looks very youthful. In fact, I still get carded and I do not have any wrinkles. I think it is a combination of many factors, including genetics, sun exposure, overall diet and many other things that contribute to our overall physical appearance. Making comments that eating sweets will give you wrinkles will send the wrong message out to the public and contribute to young teens and children going to vast measures so that they can taste sweets but not absorb it in their bodies.

    A study for how long? Of how many? Was it cross-correlated? Did it specify different types of sugars? Are we talking about refined foods? This article is pseudo-science. However, the advice isn't bad - eat fruits and veggies and whole grains. We can agree on that, even if I think the actual article is crapola.

    i think this is basically true, and i agree that we shouldnt load up on simple sugars, but so much has to do with genes. my aunt on my mom's side looks freakishly young, and she eats like the rest of america. my aunt on my dad's side has been less fortunate, and she is a health nut. staying out of the sun seems like the best idea.

    If you have a high-sugar diet, wrinkles are the least of your worries.

    For all you nah sayers this article is correct in that sugar does glycosolate cells. Why do you think diabetics gets so many neuropathies? That is another way of saying nerve cells die, as they die as they get coated with sugar and literally suffocate.

    Eat all the sugar you want. My mother always says, a couple extra pounds when you're aging fills out the wrinkles. She's right. She's 67, and a size 12 and she looks AMAZING. She never watches what she eats. Genetics plays a HUGE part in the wrinkle factor.
