Inflammation in people with diabetes

reduces Low-moderate study (AA)

5 times

Crossover trial in 24 people with diabetes: a diet with 5 times fewer AGEs (glycation products formed by high-temperature cooking) reduced blood AGEs by ~30% and lowered inflammatory markers (TNF-α, VCAM-1) compared with the high-AGE diet. Small sample and intermediate markers, not clinical outcomes.
