to be hearing a lot about in the coming years: AGE. Advanced glycation end products, appropriately acronymed AGE, is the name given to the stuff that stiffens arteries (atherosclerosis), clouds the lenses of the eyes (cataracts), and mucks up the neuronal connections of the brain (dementia), all found in abundance in older people.1 The older we get, the more AGEs can be recovered in kidneys, eyes, liver, skin, and other organs.
