Do carbs cause wrinkles?

Eating too many processed carbs, for example, like pasta, can cause the collagen in your skin to be damaged, taking away it's springy quality and resulting in wrinkles.

Cupcakes

While cupcakes are adorable and delicious (and my favorite dessert), they're pretty awful for you, according to nutritionist Kimberly Snyder. "The typical store bought cupcake is filled with ingredients hazardous to your health. Polyunsaturated fats can cause inflammation and heart disease. Dairy is full of toxic hormones. Wheat is very likely genetically modified and contains gluten, which is very difficult to digest. Sugar has no nutritive value." The last item is the one we're most concerned with, as sugar raises glucose levels in your blood, causing the release of insulin and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGE's), which damages collagen and causes wrinkles.
