Yes, you read that right - there are certain foods that can cause or worsen your acne condition.
This article looks at two of them and whether or not they are really not food for acne.
CARBOHYDRATES - High refined sugar content in your diet has always been believed to be one of the most glaring causes of acne for acne sufferers; and the same goes for a lot of other processed foods that are regularly consumed by the general American public.
However a lot of questions are raised by the fact that even though most people consume these foods in their diet, not all of them respond with acne.
Incidentally, most non-westernized countries and societies in the world today really don't suffer as much from acne as Americans do, which would suggest that the carbohydrate content in the foods we eat must indeed be a contributing factor to the incidence of acne in the United States.
As such, you may want to consider a low glycemic index in your diet to cure your acne, and do away with such foods as soft drinks, sweets, white bread if you desire to alleviate your acne.
And of course, you know what to do with the junk food and the high fat and sugar content that it has.
OTHER SUGARS - I'll leave this to you to decide, but studies suggest that other high sugar content foods like your regular chocolate, and your french fries, and the chips, and the sugar, are all parts of a long list to comprise high sugar foods that worsen acne.
For a fact, abstinence from them will help you cure the condition; and so it is reasonable to believe that the same abstinence can help to prevent your acne also.
It is a given: acne treatment by diet is possible; therefore acne prevention by the same means has got to be a viable approach to dealing with acne.
