Gly)Control combines nutriceuticals and traditional herbs to help slow down "AGEing" [the buildup of the effects of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in our bodies]. Without the excessive formation and accumulation of AGEs—the unavoidable byproducts of eating digestible carbohydrates, cooking food, and maintaining tightly regulated circulating levels of glucose in the bloodstream as a necessary fuel—we would be a lot healthier.*
Although we can significantly reduce AGEs created in food preparation by reducing temperature and by using boiling, poaching, or stewing rather than frying and grilling, it is not possible to avoid all AGEs in food. Moreover, although blood sugar levels can be kept down by dietary choices (such as eating a low-glycemic-index diet), glycation still occurs relentlessly throughout life.*
