Milk and Sugar ~ Culprit for Acne Breakout

A recent study says that dairy products and sugar cause acne. Studies have shown that the prevalence of diets that include a high intake of milk and sugar increase “both the number of people who got acne and its severity.” Apart from that, people who eat more refined carbs such as bread, rice, pasta, and flour products had significantly more acne.

Aside from sugar, milk, and refined carbohydrates, inflammatory fats (saturated fat, trans fat, and processed vegetable oils like soy and corn) can also cause hormonal imbalances, which, in turn, promote acne. Certain foods have been linked to improvements in many of the underlying causes of acne and can help correct it. These include fish oil, turmeric, ginger, green tea, nuts, dark purple and red foods such as berries, green foods like dark green leafy vegetables, and omega 3-eggs.
