But don’t lose perspective: A raw apple has 13 units of AGEs compared to a baked apple’s 45 units, while a boiled hot dog has 6,736 units compared to a broiled hot dog’s 10,143. So, a baked apple still has 150 times fewer AGEs than a boiled frankfurter,730 and vegetables, even when grilled, have but a fraction of the AGEs of raw meat.
