    The process affected, Werman’s team said, is known as "cross linking". "Too much cross-linking reduces elasticity and makes the skin 【C8】______  and rigid, and these are the conditions that encourage wrinkled skin," Werman said in a statement.

"Americans are eating more and more 【C10】______   foods such as carbonated drinks, baked goods, canned fruits jams and dairy products that 【C11】______   fructose," Werman said. Other studies have shown that  【C12】______   fructose intake can affect how the body  【C13】   glucose(葡萄糖) and increases insulin(胰岛素) resistance-which can 【C14】______   be important measures of the  【C15】______   toward diabetes.
     The rats Werman worked  【C16】______  were fed much more than the 【C17】______   adult person might eat in a day, which is standard in such 【C18】______   The rats were fed 12.5 grams of fructose per kg (2.2 pounds) of weight every day for a year. To 【C19】______ , a person weighing 154 pounds (70kg) who drinks a quart (liter) of cola 【C20】______  about 60 grams of fructose, or 0.8 grams per kg of body weight.
