Vegan chef offers advice, shares recipes to fight signs of aging

Wrinkles are directly linked to eating sugar, said the Japanese vegan chef. Chef Ayumi Hashimoto, of Nashville, Tenn., informed workshop guests that sugar in the bloodstream attaches to proteins to form harmful molecules called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs. Hashimoto said the more sugar you eat, the more AGEs you develop, and the more wrinkles you acquire.
