Does sugar cause acne??? (age-old question)
Acne definitely has a genetic basis. But for those that get acne,
diet is almost certainly a causative factor. Dr. Neil Mann from the
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology released the results of a
dietary intervention of 43 acne patients at the Nutrition Society of
Australia meeting in November of 2005. A low glycemic high protein
diet significantly improved acne symptoms and the hormonal problems
(excess insulin, high circulating androgens) that underlie acne.
