This may just be paranoia thrown in with curiosity talking but I eat a lot of meat and butter (which are known to have high contents of AGEs and especially more so when heated), and seeing as how AGEs are responsible for oxidation and inflammation, I think it would be really useful to know the levels in our body.
I've looked around and found some test called a skin autofluorescence reader but that doesn't sound like a test an everyday patient could take.

More pressing questions: Can you test for AGEs and does a test for AGEs really tell you anything meaningful? – Matt May 7 2012 at 19:11
@Matt, I was considering changing my question to "Should we be tested for AGEs?" And I think your latter question is an important one that needs to be answered. And how much is too much? – April S. May 7 2012 at 19:20
I think this is a good question. I wish I had access to the whole article though. – Sunny Beaches May 7 2012 at 19:32
@Sunny, are you referring to the first link I posted? If so, I have the full article and I can e-mail it to you. – April S. May 7 2012 at 19:56
