Can A Low GI Diet Cure Your Acne?
If you have acne, you likely have heard a myriad of tales, ideas and theories of acne causes, but the end result is confusion. One recent study, however, sheds light on at least one acne topic – A Melbourne University in Australia (RMIT) recently determined that a high protein and low GI diet can dramatically decrease acne in the teenage boys it studied. The study seems to buck the commonly held notion that diet and acne are not related. Contrary to popular belief, experts have said often over the years, chocolate does not cause acne. But this study seems to prove that indeed, the quality of a diet and health of the skin are interconnected. .
