well, if not, guess what. it's all reversible. it really is. the culprit, it turns out, is sugar. it may be making you look older than you really are. our nutritionist is here with simple solutions to take years off your face. brooke, welcome. >> thank you for having me. [applause] dr. oz: why do you feel so passionately that sugar is the culprit here? >> sugar is the enemy. it affects your waistline and your face. dr. oz: lines, wrinkles, isn't that a natural part of aging? >> it is natural, but it's preventable. it doesn't have to happen as quickly as it is. too much sugar leads to premature aging. dr. oz: are we getting too much sugar in our lives? three questions i want you to ask yourself to find out if ugar my be aging you prematurely, do you eat carbs or sweets when you're in a bad mood? i hear yes out of honest folks. do you need sugar in your

coffee to get you through the date? people who are awake are saying yes. thirdly, you look for something sweet to eat in the afternoon? so if you answered yes to any of these questions, frankly, sugar my be making you look older. if i can, let's show the folks why we believe sugar is a problem for the appearance of your skin, especially on your face. so this is a little model that i built out. the real conversation here comes back to what sugar is doing to your body. so, in this model, this pizza dough here is your skin. it's on top. underneath the skin supporting the skin, making it like a trampoline are the collagen tubes. do you see them here? they're supposed to be here. below them is yellow. that yellow stuff is sugar. the sugar can sometimes, if you got too much of it in your body, bathe those collagen fibers, bathe the elastic material beneath your skin. my hands are sugar here. without the collagen, you don't have the skin that needs to be

able to bounce back. what is the sugar doing? the sugar is actually destroying these tubes, literally binding them together so they no longer act the same way. as that happens, guess what happens, see the dimple that starts to occur on top. it doesn't stop. the more sugar you have, the more you take these tubes and mess them up and the more you mess these up, the more these deficits become cracks, lines, wrinkles. they make the undereye bags that much deeper and change the color. they dry out your skin so it no longer has the ability to keep that rosie color you want it to have. that's what we think is inevitable with aging. i'm here to say it is not true. so what can you do about the sugar? now that we have actually established why it's dangerous, it's destroying these tubes supporting your skin, how can we reverse that? >> take out all of the harmful sugars in your diet. we need to remove them entirely. what i ask for people to do on our diet is to remove sugar for three days, all sugars, 72 hours, it's a little tough.

we gradually get to add it back in. by the end of those three days, you'll be amazed of what tastes sweeter, an onion or raw almond has natural sweetness to it. dr. oz: let's show folks what we're talking about. these are the specific sugars you tell us to eliminate. i recommend these foods to people all the time. diaries, ple to eat healthy fruits and alcohol is associated with living longer. >> these are healthy sugars. in the three days, we're removing all sugars. i want your palate to start back at zero. we're starting at square one here. we're removing dairy, fruit, grains and red wine or any kind of alcohol. so we start at square one by the time we hit day four. dr. oz: what can you eat? you are taking out the healthy stuff we bragged about in the show? >> you can eat proteins, not animal protein, beans, nuts, will he arguments, chicken, shell fish. we can eat tons of vegetables

nd spice it up for extra flavor. dr. oz: all of the healthy things, what will they look like in three days? >> after those three days, you'll see a reduction in the undereye circles that we just talked about. you'll see a reduction in that dry skin. you're going see some major changes in puffiness in three days. >> is that a reasonable tradeoff, folks? i know three days of not having sugar is going to be a challenge for a lot of folks. day four, what does the world like for people? they look better in the mirror. how are they going to feel? >> they're going to be feeling a little better by day four. we add back in our healthy sugars, not all at once, a little at a time. we can have the red wine, we can toast to looking younger. dr. oz: it's a four-week program. so we start with three days of cutting out all the sugar including the sugars that come with healthy foods.

then you say in week one, you have the wine up here, thank you very much. the glass of wine in the first week. what else do we add back? >> we can have some fruit already. dr. oz: you have an apple. >> an applele a day keeps the durham away. they have anti-aging benefits. dr. oz: is that the most important food for us to have? >> an apple a day, absolutely, there is a reason why the expression is going on. dr. oz: if people start eating more apples, will that help your skin appearance? >> absolutely. dr. oz: that we can do. what else do we have? >> some dairy. dr. oz: any kind? >> unflavored dairy products. dr. oz: real dairy. the high fiber crackers. >> to give you the crunch factor and satisfy you during your meals. dr. oz: week one, add all of these back and sort of treading water by now. how are you going to look differently? >> by the end of week one, you

might see that supple. you might be needing less moisturizer at this point. you see gradual small differences, at the end of the four weeks, it will add up. dr. oz: you add back some of the foods that you have. walk me through it. >> we get some more fruit. add on to that apple. you can do some berries, half a grapefruit. dr. oz: do you eat an apple every day? >> every day. dr. oz: i'm going to start doing that. >> yeah. dr. oz: one of my daughters, the third daughter always have apples, always. she is young still. her skin is the best in the family. >> it's those anti-oxidants. it's the fiber and an apple is naturally low in sugar. dr. oz: you get dairy back. >> yes. dr. oz: week three. >> week three is the fun week. we increase our wine. dr. oz: how much wine do you drink a week? >> i drink around three to four glasses a week of red wine. dr. oz: three glasses of wine. if you don't look good, at least you won't be able to tell the difference. >> exactly.

you get dark chocolate. it has amazing anti-oxidants as well. the truth is i'm a realist. no one is going to stick to a diet that you don't have something sweet in. high quality dark chocolate for anti-oxidants. dr. oz: this is the first time we're seeing starches. >> we're adding in healthy grains, brown rice, quinoa. dr. oz: week four? >> at starches and more fruit. we can go up to five glasses of red wine a week. dr. oz: one to five glasses? >> ideally you're spreading it out over the seven days. dr. oz: you have done this program. i understand that the swelling is better. maybe the blemishes have gotten a little better, the discoloration under the eyes have gotten better. what are we going to look at the end of four weeks? >> we will have reduction in the swelling. less underwie circles and fine

reduction in wrinkles. we'll have a more youthful appearance. it's a truly anti-aging diet. dr. oz: after the fourth week, what happens to the sugar in your life? >> it comes back into your life. you're not going to want it as much. we have recalibrated what your palate is. your idea of sweetness has changed. the days that you want an ice cream scoop or a birthday party, have your cake and make loom for it in a healthy controlled portion way. dr. oz: you see this in your clinic? >> everything is based on sugar as well as all of our testers on the diet of this as well. dr. oz: "the sugar detox" outlines this program. check it out on doctoroz.com. the one thing everyone can use to take years off your face. find a simple ingredient that really works. it's coming up next.

[cheers and applause] dr. oz: years taken off your face, a dermatologist is here and she says there is one ingredient that every woman should use to look younger. why is this a must have ingredient for any kind of an anti-aging product. >> it's found naturally in the skin. it's able to absorb 1,000 times its weight in water. it's an excellent plumping agent. we as dermatologists love to inject this into wrinkles to lift the face and fill big wrinkles. you can get this at the drugstore, this ingredient. dr. oz: what will you expect to say? >> with the topical form, can you expect smoother skin and immediately better hydration. let me show you an example. here is a before and after with the injectable form for the laugh lines around the mouth. one injection immediately plumps the wrinkles around the mouth. dr. oz: that's a big difference.

let me show folks what you did here. it's important for them to understand. so it works in several different ways. it absorbs a lot of fluid. it tends to, your skin, if you can imagine it to be a sponge plumps it up in the right way. when it's injected, pretend this is your skin, the pink thing is your skin. as you inject it in there, it begins to swell a little bit. plumps up the wrinkles from underneath. that will stay wet for six to 12 months. what we're asking you to do, you can't always go to a dermatologist to get it done is to apply it topically. when you do it topically, it similarly moyesens the skin. by doing that, you plump it up to get the appearance you want. here is the deal. this looks much better obviously than it did before. after 24 hours, it loses its effect. the skin begins to dry out, the moisture slips out of it. what happens then, instead of

being moyes, it looks dry. dry skin, notice the plumpness and the difference. fortunately, if you don't apply daily, you'll go back to this in time at all, 24 hours. how do you find this? >> you can find it in the drugstore or at the beauty counter. it's in moisturizers and lotions. you want to look this and you know you're getting a good amount of it. you just need a little pump. it could cost as little as $8. dr. oz: $8. >> a good deal. dr. oz: best way to apply it? >> use it at nighttime, the best time to get the best hydration. eight hours of uninterrupted hydrated time. dr. oz: it's affordable, simple to play and a lot of science behind it. coming up, you want to look younger by the weekend? the one thing everyone can do starting tonight to take years off their face. fashion is my thing, and i'm not gonna let my period

[cheers and applause] dr. oz: think wrinkles or crow's feet are the first place to show aging? think again. it's your smile that can make you look older. my dentist is here and he says teeth yellow as we age.

the simple solution is in your drugstore. what can folks do to get a whiter smile? >> that's exactly right. every decade we get older, our teeth darken one to two shades. we know that the professional whitening really is the great place to start, but it gets expensive. the drugstore really has some great choices for us today. from toothpaste to mouthwash, whitening strips, light and heat devices are now hitting the market where we're taking professional whitening elements and now the consumer has that. dr. oz: how long does it take to get the benefit, a week, month, a year? >> it depends on the product. you can start seeing changes all the way starting at two to three days all the way to a couple of months really depending on the delivery system and depending on the concentration of the jell. we say it's all about contact time. so i spend a lot of my life with these things. that jell has to adhere to the teeth and people have to use it

frequently, multiple days in a row. if they're skipping days and not compliant with it, it starts regressing and going backwards. dr. oz: we have guests who are going to challenge you. they want whiter teeth. welcome, come on in. ruth says she has two months. she has sometime to get her teeth whiter. why two months? >> in the summer i have a few family events coming you. i want to make sure i have a nice bright smile. dr. oz: what about two months? >> with two months, we have a lot of that time, the whitening pens are quite good. it's very good for taking off extrinsic external stain. you can target the teeth very nicely. just by twisting the bottom, the jell gets to the top. you target to the teeth. you don't want to get it on the soft tissue, that will cause irritation. the leading edge of the jell does the whitening. everything behind it is going to escape. that's why it does take a couple of months to really see these results, but it's a very convenient -- you could be

watching tv. you could be doing anything and just applying it right to the teeth. dr. oz: hope that is helpful. you have two weeks to make your teeth whiter. what is happening in two weeks? >> i have a destination wedding that i'm going to next month. dr. oz: the clock is ticking, two weeks. >> the beauty of two weeks is that we can get that contact time, you got to be really good with it. you want to do it multiple days in a row. these strips were a great breakthrough starting about 10 years ago when they came up with the idea of taking hydrogen peroxide and impregnating it into a strip. it's applied and it's, again, very important that when you apply to the teeth, you don't get it on the gums, ok. it wraps on the teeth. what it does, it's starting to develop this concept of closing the system, not letting the oxygen escape like they do in the paint on and the pens. he'll get better efficacy in a

shorter period of time period of time. >> after i put the strip on, how long before i can eat or trink something? >> the strips stay on for a good 25, 30 minutes. then it's good not to have anything stainy, anything that would stain a white shirt, coffee, red wine, tea, we stay away from when you're doing your whitening procedures. we might need to move you over to white wine. it's those red stain tan inmolecules. >> how are you? >> i'm fine. dr. oz: she is a last-minute planner. she has two days, what's happening in two days? >> i have a family reunion. my sister's teeth are always whiter than mine. i don't drink coffee. i want mine to pop to look better. dr. oz: she wants them to pop. >> i love that, too, because that's what everybody wants. they really do. can you get it done a little bit quicker? so a big breakthrough is taking

these elements of light and heat and here is a system that uses light and what i have spent a lot of my own time on is developing and inventing products and what we have developed is light and heat in the mouthpiece. we want this jell to attach to the teeth. you put that on first. then in as little as two days, you're going to start seeing results where this lights up, you bite right into it. it's going to whiten the upper and lower teeth at the same time so you can do it quicker. >> and they will pop. >> and they will pop. dr. oz: your sister will be so mad at you. finally let's talk about the last issue which are whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes. are they worth the investment? >> they are absolutely worth it from the standpoint we have to keep the plaque off of our teeth for the health of our mouth. we know the connection of our mouth and our overall body. these whitening toothpastes have very good anti-plaque agents and the toothpastes have

the fine silicates in it that take off the stains from the coffee, red wine, and tea. the message is brushing and flossing properly, using a whitening toothpaste has the gentle abrasives and so does the rinse at keeping the gums healthy so the stain molecules won't stick to it. dr. oz: good advice. coming up, the one product i was shocked to learn is covered in germs. i use it every day. the germiest items in your home is next. [cheers and applause] >> tomorrow all new, is someone you love destroying your health? >> you don't need to be eating. >> you think you're a bully?
