A member asked:
Is there any food that can help to prevent acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low Glycemic Index: There is some evidence that foods with a high glycemic index (foods that cause one's blood sugar to spike quickly) have a harmful effect on promoting acne. Therefore, choosing low glycemic index foods may be helpful in treating/preventing acne. Also, using organic dairy products may also help as they do not contain the many hormones used to make cows produce more milk.
