one more question that needs to be answered regarding the study: why didn't they attempt to directly measure AGEs in the subjects instead of the precursor methylglycoxal? i think the answer is that the researchers knew if net AGE formation (which is really what affects collagen hardening/yellowing) was the factor determining the outcome, a positive light may have been shed on ketogenic diets (btw, is not really fair to call the atkins diet a ketogenic diet after the initial month). i don't believe this is the result the researchers were looking for, hence the focus on methylglycoxal.
