Summary

This study looked at how advanced glycation end products (AGEs) found in processed foods like whey protein affect metabolism and memory. Twenty-four healthy, sedentary adults (young and older) drank milkshakes with high or low AGEs and fat. Researchers measured blood markers and cognitive performance to see if AGEs have short-term effects. The goal is to understand how these common food compounds might influence health.
