Meet Carolyn Hartz – the owner of SweetLife and grandmother that went on a sugar-free diet 28 years ago and now doesn’t even look half her age.

After being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, the 69-year-old had to give up the sweet stuff to get her blood sugar back on track. The used-to-be sugar addict cut the ingredient out of her diet 28 years ago and now uses an alternative called Xylitol instead. Though her youthful looks aren’t just due to the fact she cut out sugar – she also sticks with an exercise program. “You have to watch what you put in your mouth — that’s number one — and two, you have to move your legs,” Hartz told about her beauty secrets to News.com.au. Despite what Hartz says about the sugar-free diet to thank for her looking young, the Internet just doesn’t buy her healthy lifestyle preachings… What do you think? Did she found a fountain of youth, or is it the money that’s the culprit behind aging gracefully?
