If you suffer from pimples — whether you have teenage acne or adult hormonal breakouts — I suggest you avoid dairy products. The reason? Dairy stimulates the body to produce a variety of hormones, including insulin and insulin-like growth factor, that can aggravate acne. While the research on this has been around since the 1990s, doctors for the most part are just now paying attention to it. I hope that dermatologists will eventually put this knowledge into practice to help people cut back on antibiotics and other pills. In fact, many of my patients, including those with cystic acne, have even been able to avoid taking isotretinoin (previously available as Accutane) by cutting out dairy. For more detailed info (and before-and-after photos), check out Chapter 4 of my book, Feed Your Face.
