Wrinkles......
Saturday, March 22, 2008
Do wrinkles get worse if you eat lots of sweets?

Everyone knows that your Peanut M&M’s or Skittles habit can affect your waistline. I just look across at my Hubby to conform that! And now some reports are suggesting it could also make your skin age quicker which in turn, is provoking a new crop of anti aging type of beauty products. Are they worth using, that's the question. Some dermatologists believe that eating sugar in excess of your needs will speed up your body’s natural process of glycation, which is when sugar and protein molecules join up and act against collagen. And collagen damage can make your skin less elastic, more easily wrinkled, and more vulnerable to sun damage.
Not all the experts are convinced, though. There probably is a connection between too much sugar and your skin but they just don’t have enough data to show us exactly what that relationship is. Most research has been underfunded, commercially sponsored, or done on cells in a lab. So it’s hard to know if or how results translate to your skin.
