Advanced glycation endproduct

Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are like a sticky mess that can happen inside your body when you eat too much sugar or sugary foods.

When you eat sugar, it combines with certain proteins in our body like collagen, which can make them stick together like glue. It’s like when you eat too much candy and get a sticky mess on your hands that you can’t wash off easily.

This big sticky mess can cause damage to the cells, tissues and organs inside your body. Scientists say that this sticky mess can contribute to the aging process in your body, making your body feel older and be more likely to get sick.

So, it’s important for us to be aware of how much sugar we are eating and limit the amount we take in so that we don't end up with any heavy sticky messes inside our bodies.
