Patients suffering from acne often wonder what foods could be causing them to breakout. Typically, patients blame unhealthy diets of fast food, snacks and sodas as culprits. A new study suggests there may be some science behind these chocolate bars and french fry fears.
A new report suggests that, theoretically, people with acne may have high insulin levels in their blood. These high insulin levels could contribute to the development of acne through hormonal influences. Eating foods with a low glycemic index that are favored by low-carbohydrate eating plans could help control blood sugar and insulin levels. This in turn could decrease the hormonal stimulation that leads to acne development. The investigators therefore suggest that low-carbohydrate diets may improve acne.
