Dermatologists (skin doctors) have always dismissed these ideas as mere myths, but recent experiments conducted by researchers have shown that one of the statements above may actually be partially true.

Loren Cordain, a health and exercise professor says that recent studies have linking your diet to acne have caused waves in the skin community. He says that all medical textbooks relating to dermatology mention absolutely nothing about what you eat and your skin condition.

Though in the studies conducted, many have concluded that eating candy, donuts, soda, pizza, and generally processed sugary/starchy foods may actually have an effect on acne.

They came to this conclusion after studying a bunch of people from an island and then comparing them to Americans, which eventually led them to believe that none of the islanders had acne because of their diets that were very low in carbohydrates and sugars.

The reason sugars and carbohydrates are believed to have an effect on acne is that the higher the blood sugar level, the more insulin your pancreas produces which in turn releases more hormones….all this leads to more excretion of skin oils which are the main cause of acne.

Many people start to notice acne breakouts after changing their diets. So it is best for you to maintain a low sugar diet and wait to see if you notice any results. Besides, not only will a diet decrease the possibility of you trying to learn how to lose weight in the future, but it will also keep your skin fresh!

As for the theory of drinking lots of water, many still believe that it is nothing but an old wives tale.
