[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If diet is so important, why did our dermatologist just tell us that only dairy product have some impact on acne? She eats one yogurt per day and he told her that is fine, but not to overdo it. She asked about milk chocolate as well and he was ok with it, as long as it is moderate. His biggest issue was that she shouldn't wash her face more than twice per day, and not to scrub and use cleaning products sold for cleaning face. [/quote]

eh, it's also normal teenage hormones.  Testosterone in boys.  [/quote]

From the NIH study of studies, 2009:

[i]The small studies that have been conducted to look at the effect of a low-glycemic diet on acne suggest that a low-glycemic diet may be helpful, but further research is needed to fully elucidate the role that diet may play in acne. The low-glycemic diet induces relatively low amounts of insulin to keep blood glucose levels within the normal range. In contrast, a high-glycemic diet requires more insulin to maintain glucose levels. This could lead to insulin resistance, which in turn can cause numerous health problems including high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.[/i]
