If you thought simply eating healthy will save you from bad health, think again; the methods for preparing food might actually have as much to do with your health as the food itself. According to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, grilled, fried or broiled meats and cheeses contain a series of toxins linked to such disorders as diabetes, kidney disease, and Alzheimer's Disease. The toxins, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), are also created even when food is sterilized. According to Dr. Helen Vlassara, the director of Mount Sinai's Division of Experimental Diabetes and Aging, AGEs "give our food desirable tastes and smells [but] consuming high amounts of grilled, broiled or fried food means consuming significant amounts of AGEs, and AGEs in excess are toxic. People should be given information about AGE intake and be advised to consider their intake in the same way they would think about their trans fats and salt intake."
