Scientists at the University of Montreal say they have established a stronger link between aging and eating too much sugar that opens a door to new therapeutic strategies for fighting age-related diseases.

"The link between the rise in age-related diseases and the over-consumption of sugar in today's diet is clearer. Our research opens a door to new therapeutic strategies for fighting age-related diseases," says biochemistry professor Luis Rokeach.
