Is too much sugar bad for your skin ?

Do you have sweet tooth? It has been reported that about 70% population of the people in Asia loves sugary stuff. As a result of this there are more people who are suffering from diabetes in Asia.

Recent studies shows that there has been lots of evident that sugar not only damages our health but also causes one to age faster than usual. This is because when someone consumes too much sweet stuff then your body actually needs, your body's natural process of glycation speeds up.This is when the excess of sugar elements and protein molecules combines and causes damage to the collagen.

In a recent research conducted by Paul J.Beisswenger, MD, a diabetes researcher and a Medical School professor, he ruled out that collagen damage can make your skin less elastic, more easily wrinkled and more vulnerable to sun damage.

This is why it has been often said that those who have a sweet tooth may not have a wrinkle-free face. The reason behind this is because of the clogging of the excess of sugar causes damage to the collagen and elastin proteins which are responsible to protect our skin from brittleness and dullness.
