What are « bad » sugars, and what are their effects on our skin? Did you know that there exists one non-toxic friendly sugar, that actually « repairs » aged skin?

We all know now that to preserve our health and good looks, reducing our intake in fatty foods is a non-negociable rule. Magazines, TV, our doctors and favorite bloggers have exposed and explained, each in their own way and language, the damages that saturated fats cause to our cells, organs, and bodies. So as good citizens, we have learned to replace butter by a spritz of olive oil, steam-cook instead of deep-fry, chose yogurts, cheeses, ice-creams whose lipid contents are close to zero. Very well. But what about sugars? Just by their sweet name they seem less harmful than the „ugly“ fat. We have all indulged in the oh-so-chic macarons, cupcakes, and other fancy and cute deserts that are out there. Just when we have started to accept (not so difficult, in the end!) the fact that a girl eating desert is sexy, a new scientific discovery comes to light.
