EB. 138: How Low-Carb Diets Worsen AGE Formation (and What to Do Instead)

10d ago 1:09:55

MP3•Episode home

In this episode we discuss:

How glucose and insulin decrease glycation
Why ketogenic diets can be worse than high-carb diets when it comes to AGE formation
How autophagy helps to clear AGEs, but increasing autophagy is not the answer
The true primary drivers of AGE accumulation
The best diet and supplements for minimizing glycation

Timestamps:

0:00 – intro

0:57 – how glycation products are detoxified and cleared from the body

4:03 – glycation detoxification is impaired by oxidative stress and inflammation, as seen in type 2 diabetes

7:56 – the benefits of carbohydrates for the detoxification of glycation products

10:42 – the benefits of insulin for the detoxification of glycation products

12:45 – how AGEs are cleared

14:36 – increasing autophagy via hormesis is not the answer for clearing AGEs

19:09 – autophagy can drive disease

20:50 – ATP protects against oxidative stress and allows for proper autophagy when needed

24:37 – impaired mitochondrial along with fatty acid oxidation impairs autophagy and increases oxidative stress

26:54 – carbohydrates do NOT inhibit autophagy

29:18 – adequate thyroid hormone supports proper autophagy

30:15 – adequate ATP and mitochondrial function is needed for the UPS (ubiquitin proteasome system)

32:56 – do high-carb diets actually impair metabolism and insulin sensitivity

35:26 – is fructose really worse for blood sugar regulation and glycation?

37:16 – are low-carb or ketogenic diets the solution to reduce glycation?

40:32 – increased glycation and oxidative stress on ketogenic diets

44:09 –low-carb diets don’t prevent glucose exposure

47:56 – there are still considerable insulin and glucose excursions on low-carb diets

50:06 – gluconeogenesis leads to same glycolytic intermediates as glucose metabolism

51:52 –the main driver of AGE formation and impaired AGE clearance

53:40 – the role of vitamin B1 (thiamine) and mitochondrial energy production in decreasing AGEs

56:27 –endotoxin as a driver of glycation and increased AGE production

58:12 – hypothyroidism as a driver of glycation and AGE accumulation

59:37 – dietary solutions for reducing glycation and AGEs

1:03:33 – how to support the glyoxalase pathway to support the detoxification of glycation products

1:05:56 – avoid calorie restriction, low-carb diets, fasting, resveratrol, cold exposure, excess exercise, and iron overload to decrease glycation and AGEs

1:07:33 – iron as a double-edged sword for oxidative stress
