Sugar and Milk Cause Acne
Sugar and milk cause acne
The results of the review of the clinical research in the last 50 years show a link between the diet and acne. Foods with a high glycemic index, such as those containing sugar and milk should be avoided.
Dietary factors as triggers of acne has been debated for more than a decade. In a recent study that analyzed the studies in the last 50 years found that foods with a high glycemic index and the milk was not just aggravate acne, but also in some cases trigger acne.
Acne is basically caused by a combination of factors, including the production of too much oil glands as well as the accumulation of dead skin cells that clog pores so there is a local infection in the skin.
Causes of excessive production of oil glands are caused by hormonal fluctuations. That's why 80 percent of acne problems experienced by adolescents in the age of puberty. Although acne is not dangerous, but severe acne, including traces can trigger low self-esteem and depression.
Since the 19th century scientists have linked diet with acne. The food was regarded as the ringleader of acne include chocolate, sugar, and fat. However, two large studies in the period of the 1960s denied the claim.
"In this era of the dermatologists and nutritionists back to see the link between acne to diet. Fact there are trends in the form of acne therapy nutrition therapy," said Burris Dr.Jennifer Department of Nutrition and Food Studies, New York University.
Foods with a glycemic index (GI) high, which quickly raise blood sugar, is considered to have a direct effect on the progression of acne due to hormonal fluctuations trigger.
Foods with a high GI may increase the levels of hormones in the body, including insulin and stimulates the production of oil glands.
In 2007 study in Australia shows young men who run low-GI diet showed significantimprovement in their acne.
Milk is considered an effect on acne because it contains hormones. 2007 study by a team from Harvard University shows there is a clear relationship between those who like to drink milk with the severity of acne.
Interestingly, those who choose low-fat milk instead have more severe acne. This is presumably because the process of making milk increased the levels of hormones in the product.
