Modern diet blamed for acne

[Mary]

There is recent research pointing the finger at diet - eating refined
carbohydrates and sugar leads to a surge in insulin and an insulin-like
growth factor called IGF-1. This in turn leads to an excess of male
hormones, which encourage the skin to excrete large amounts of sebum.
This grease-like substance encourages the growth of bacteria
responsible for acne. The scientists believe the modern diet is to
blamed for acne.
