In today’s episode, I discuss the link between acne and nutrition. I review the research on popular ‘anti-acne’ diets (low glycaemic diet, ketogenic diet, and dairy-free diet) to determine their influence on the development of acne, as well as explore the effectiveness of popular supplements and dietary nutrients on skin health.

I discuss:

• The role of diet and nutrition in influencing skin conditions (2:00)
• The evidence between diet and acne - does what you eat cause acne? (3:21)
• ‘Anti-acne’ diet review: A low glycemic index diet (5:38) 
• Weighing up the ‘risks’ of your food decisions. What is it worth to you? (10:13)
• Can a traditional western dietary pattern influence the development of acne? (11:20)
• The importance of considering your whole dietary pattern when trying to determine a cause and effect relationship between the food you eat and the health of your skin (13:00)
• Anti-acne’ diet review: The ketogenic diet (14:00)
• Anti-acne’ diet review: A dairy-free diet (17:04) 
• Supplements and acne - do they work?  (21:46)
