Health experts say a lot of the $44.6 billion Americans spent on anti-aging cosmetic products last year could have been better spent on food. Antioxidants found in such foods as cinnamon, cloves, blueberries and artichokes can do as much as any cream -- or even Botox -- to prevent the physical signs of aging, nutrition experts say. But, alas, analysts expect the market for cosmetics to grow to $72 billion by 2009.
