- 14. Sugar Causes Wrinkles Glycation:the sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins. This forms harmful molecules called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The more sugar you eat, the more AGEs you develop. "As AGEs accumulate, they damage adjacent proteins in a domino-like fashion," explains Dr Fredric Brandt, MD, Dermatologist.
- 15. Most vulnerable to damage:collagen and elastin: protein fibers that keep skin firm and elastic. Springy & resilient collagen & elastin become brittle, leading to wrinkles & sagging. Effects start at age 35 and increase rapidly afterwards (British Journal of Dermatology).
- 16. Sugar also affectswhat type of collagen you have — another factor in how resistant skin is to wrinkling, says Brandt. Collagen comes in types I, II, and III. Type III is most stable and long lasting. Glycation transforms type III collagen into type I, which is more fragile. AGEs deactivate your body's natural antioxidant enzymes, leaving you more vulnerable to sun damage.

After a month, the structure of the brains of these rats adapts to increased dopamine levels, showing fewer of a certain type of dopamine receptor than they used to have and more opioid receptors. These dopamine and opioid systems are involved in motivation and reward, systems that control wanting and liking something. Similar changes also are seen in the brains of rats on cocaine and heroin.\n

- #44 Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio even concluded that people who drink artificially sweetened drinks gained more weight than those who didn't, and blame it on the fact that those drinks often make you crave the real thing. in that study, for every can of diet soda people consumed each day, there was a 41% increased risk of being overweight. Read more: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1711763,00.html#ixzz1mZI79bL3 \n\n--\nIn a series of experiments, scientists at Purdue University compared weight gain and eating habits in rats whose diets were supplemented with sweetened food containing either zero-calorie saccharin or sugar. The report, published in Behavioral Neuroscience, presents some counterintuitive findings: Animals fed with artificially sweetened yogurt over a two-week period consumed more calories and gained more weight — mostly in the form of fat — than animals eating yogurt flavored with glucose, a natural, high-calorie sweetener.Read more: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1711763,00.html#ixzz1mZHuwPIX \n--\n\nIn a new study released today by Purdue University, researchers found that rats who were fed Olean-containing potato chips as part of a high-fat diet ate more overall and gained more weight than those who were fed a high fat diet and regular, full-fat potato chips. \n\nOlean is the brand name for Olestra, a calorieless, fat-free fat-substitute discovered accidentally by Procter & Gamble in 1968. Olestra was approved for use as a food additive in snack foods in 1996 and soon after became famous for its negative gastrointestinal side effects, including intense diarrhea and anal leakage. \n\n"Our bodies make predictions on what to prepare to digest based on taste and how food feels in our mouth," Swithers said. When something tastes sweet or fatty, our body gears up to digest a high density of calories, stimulating the metabolism and triggering a chain of hormonal secretions to process the fat, calories, and nutrients. \n\n"When we get cues that something is fatty, but no calories arrive -- like with fat substitutes -- our body gets confused," Swithers said. "This confusion can make the body stop preparing to digest fatty food when it does come." \n\nhttp://abcnews.go.com/Health/Diet/eating-fake-fat-makes-real-fat-olestra-study/story?id=13893613#.Tz1AhsVWq_0 \n\nhttp://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v16/n8/full/oby2008284a.html \n
- #45 5. Vitamin C\nVitamin C is essential in the process of creating cartinine, a substance which turns fat into fuel.\nDr Mehmet Oz and Dr Michael Roizen reported a study recently where two groups of participants were observed while exercising on treadmills. The group which did not have adequate levels of vitamin C burned 25% less fat than the group that did have adequate levels of vitamin C. To learn more about how much vitamin C you should be getting, view this accompanying article.\n6. Green tea\nGreen tea contains catechins, an anti-oxidant which helps break down fat and lower insulin levels. A Japanese study found that after 12 weeks of drinking the equivalent of 6 bags of green tea every day, the men reported a drop in body fat and body-mass indexes.\n7. Cinnamon\nCinnamon is also a source of catechins, which lower insulin and help the body to catabolize fats. However, sprinkling the spice on dessert foods or sugary breakfast foods will not do any good – view a healthier recipe for apple crumble at the end of this article.\n8. Hot chili peppers\nHot peppers contain capsaicin, which helps to suppress appetite. In another Japanese study of 13 women, those who ate breakfast foods with chili ate less calories later on at lunchtime.\n9. Grapefruit\nPhytochemicals in the fruit help to decrease insulin levels. The Florida Department of Citrus conducted a study in which participants were fed 1 serving (half a grapefruit), 3 times a day, for 12 weeks. On average, participants lost 3.6 pounds without altering their diets or exercises.\n
