Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Nice explanation.
To add on to this, dietary Advanced Glycation Endproducts cause inflammation in the intestinal tract and are correlated with aging. dAGE's are formed from food processed at high temperatures with low water content, like fries. Sugar/lipids/proteins form covalently bound adducts which the gut recognizes through RAGE (Receptors of Advanced Glycation Endproducts). RAGE induces an inflammatory response. This is one of the reasons a diet of fast food is bad for you.
very cool, never knew about those neutrophil NETs before!
