For many years it was believed that what we eat or drink has no bearing on our acne. However recent medical studies have shown that there may be a link to the food we consume and our complexion. Although the results of these studies are far from conclusive, the evidence is making us rethink the issue. A recent medical study has demonstrated that eating lots of sugar increases our “glycemic idex” which then increases the hormones in our bodies that cause us to break out. While the jury is still out on this issue, it still makes sense to eat a well balanced diet, and not eat excessive amounts of sugar which could still lead to diseases like diabetes.
