FINALLY, doctors and scientists are finally confirming what I've been posting for four years! Here's an article posted yesterday...
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Young adults with moderate to severe acne reported consuming foods with a higher glycemic index and more sugar and dairy than those with little acne, in new research...early results suggest that physicians might add a dietary change to their acne treatment prescriptions, researchers say"
"If appropriate, it would be acceptable to try a lower-glycemic load diet or to remove dairy products in an attempt to help treat acne," Burris says. She and her colleagues published their research online January 13 in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Though I have experienced so much change since altering my diet, if you are unable to reduce carbohydrates and diary products, try using this glycolic acid once a week.
Their study included 248 volunteers age 18 to 25 years old. The participants reported on the severity of their acne, what they eat each day, and also which foods they thought might exacerbate their acne.
Those who said they have moderate to severe acne ate foods with a higher-glycemic index. They had a mean GI of 51.8, compared to 49.6 for those with mild acne and 48.9 for those with no acne (p<0.001).
Those patients also reported consuming more sugar, 199 g/day, compared to 56.4 g/day for those without acne (p<0.001).
They drank more milk (0.7 vs 0.3 cups), and they ate more trans fats (9.6 vs 2.4 g/day) and more saturated fats (31 vs 15.6 g/day) (p<0.001). Those with worse acne also reported eating less fish than those without acne: 0.2 vs 0.7 ounces (p<.002).
There were no differences in fruit and vegetable consumption.
"Patients often say that changes in their diet affect their acne. We've been hesitant to draw a direct link, but this study lends some support to the observations that patients already report to us," says Dr. Amy Derick, a clinical instructor in dermatology at Northwestern University in Chicago, who was not involved in the research. She is also medical director of Derick Dermatology in Barrington and Crystal Lake, both in Illinois.
"The number of studies investigating diet and acne have increased over the last five to 10 years, but there are still many issues with study design that make it difficult to compare the studies or determine diet guidelines for patients with acne," Burris says.
