Several years ago I made a lot of changes to my lifestyle. One of those things was cutting out processed sugar, white bread, soda, sweet coffee drinks etc (for the majority of the time, I will still have a treat if I want to). I did not give up fruit. Blueberries and blackberries are my sweets now. Love them. I did that for my overall health, but it was fascinating to learn it helps my skin too.

[@SuperBranFlakez]

i think shes speaking on processed sugar. sugar from an orange is not the same for example

[@LongJourneys]

​@SuperBranFlakez sugar in an orange is fructose. Table sugar is sucrose, which is fructose + glucose. Many processed foods simply have extreme high concentrations of these simple sugars, where the concentration isn't nearly as high in fruits and vegetables. The sugars are the same in both but fruits and vegetables have healthy levels where things like soda do not.

Great video, the more people know about AGEs the better! I agree with everything, but some fruits do need to be limited in consumption.

Moderation is better than denying yourself all treats! If you totally deprive yourself, eventually you will feel cheated, and then it tempts you to binge.
