Hi, I wrote the article. I saw a lot of people had linked to it from here, and I just wanted to say 3 quick things:

1.) I didn't misinterpret the study - methylglyoxal is the starting product in the Maillard pathway, which leads to AGE formation (and glucosepane, the AGE responsible for the hardened state of collagen). The more methylglyoxal in one's system, the more glucosepane that results. If you would like another interpretation of the study, please consult Dr. Aubrey deGrey's Ending Aging book - he comes to the same conclusion.

2.) I have nothing against a low-carb diet, except the methylglyoxal finding. Perhaps more research in the future will show differently!

3.) I didn't mean to endorse Joy Bauer's book either; it's just a favorite of mine.

With that said, thanks for reading the article, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone! I'll be more careful with my wording in the future.
