SUGAR IS THE CAUSE OF ACNE

After running this web site since 1998 and convincing thousands of people worldwide of the truth about how sugar is the cause of acne and the way they can stop new acne, and after being further encouraged by at least one formal research effort that has clearly linked acne to diet and sugar, the medical community remains largely in the dark with respect to acknowledging and promoting this conclusion.

I continue to hear over and over again from respondents that their dermatologists appear to know essentially nothing about preventing acne and want to continue to address the disease primarily from the standpoint of using drugs and products to clear up breakouts after the disease has taken hold.

We continue to hear in the media and via web sites, some by well known medical organizations, the same old rhetoric that "no research has shown a link between diet and acne." The only reason this once was true was not because the link did not exist, but simply because no legitimate research had been done to prove the link. Now, however, with research available proving the link, it is time to get the new message spread throughout the media and convince dermatologists to get in line.

Many people with quite severe cases for which no previous success was ever attained, experienced a significant reduction in their acne for the first time in their life after stopping sugar consumption.

The information I present here is from my own experiences of what I learned about acne and how I overcame this disease and brought it under control, and what I learned from the many people that have contacted me over the internet. This site is not about promoting any medical advice, medications, drugs, products, services, or instant acne cures. I hope what I present will lead to a better understanding of acne and give some fresh insight to acne sufferers frustrated by the lack of new information and fearful of some of the suggested drugs.

For anyone willing to try cutting back on sugar consumption, let me warn you it is no easy task and it is not without its own frustrations. But oh how effectively it works!
