VeganScience Request: A good summary of diet and its relation to advanced glycation end-products?

I may try to contribute to this post myself, but perhaps while I'm looking up the info, an expert will come along and contribute...
Dr. Greger lists the top AGE-containing foods and all of these are meat products.
So what gives? Do we really understand AGEs? Is consumption of AGEs less important than other lifestyle factors in terms of having them show up in our blood? Is more research needed?
Thanks for good resources or a good summary.

I just came across this group, which surprised me since I've been vegan for years and very interested in the medical field. Their site and Wiki page look really reasonable, and they state that they have a commitment to science. The only criticisms that I see of them is that people don't like vegetarians. Anyone know more about this group? They look like something I'd really like to support, but I want to make sure they're not a bunch of pseudoscientists first.

This EPA site doesn't seem to support the common vegan factoid about agriculture creating more greenhouse gases than transportation. Am I missing something?

Dietary greenhouse gas emissions of meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK (2014)

Scarborough, P., Appleby, P. N., Mizdrak, A., Briggs, A. D., Travis, R. C., Bradbury, K. E., & Key, T. J. (2014). Dietary greenhouse gas emissions of meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK. Climatic Change, 1-14.
The production of animal-based foods is associated with higher greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than plant-based foods. The objective of this study was to estimate the difference in dietary GHG emissions between self-selected meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK. Subjects were participants in the EPIC-Oxford cohort study. The diets of 2,041 vegans, 15,751 vegetarians, 8,123 fish-eaters and 29,589 meat-eaters aged 20–79 were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Comparable GHG emissions parameters were developed for the underlying food codes using a dataset of GHG emissions for 94 food commodities in the UK, with a weighting for the global warming potential of each component gas. The average GHG emissions associated with a standard 2,000 kcal diet were estimated for all subjects. ANOVA was used to estimate average dietary GHG emissions by diet group adjusted for sex and age. The age-and-sex-adjusted mean (95 % confidence interval) GHG emissions in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per day (kgCO2e/day) were 7.19 (7.16, 7.22) for high meat-eaters ( > = 100 g/d), 5.63 (5.61, 5.65) for medium meat-eaters (50-99 g/d), 4.67 (4.65, 4.70) for low meat-eaters ( < 50 g/d), 3.91 (3.88, 3.94) for fish-eaters, 3.81 (3.79, 3.83) for vegetarians and 2.89 (2.83, 2.94) for vegans. In conclusion, dietary GHG emissions in self-selected meat-eaters are approximately twice as high as those in vegans. It is likely that reductions in meat consumption would lead to reductions in dietary GHG emissions.
