Skimmed Milk vs Acne?!?
Here is what i found while searching the web and reading some books on possible-natural ways in fighting acne.
A recent study, based on a survey of 47,335 women, did find a positive epidemiological association between acne and consumption of partially skimmed milk. The researchers hypothesize that the association may be caused by hormones (such as several sex hormones and bovine IGF-I) present in cow milk. Though there is evidence of an association between milk and acne, the exact cause is unclear. Most dermatologists are awaiting confirmatory research linking diet and acne but some support the idea that acne sufferers should experiment with their diets, and refrain from consuming such fare if they find such food affects the severity of their acne.
It is clear however that some other foods such as fast foods do affect acne in negative way. The point i would like to stress here is that eating fast foods, no matter how buzy or hungry you are have negative effects on acne.
