Milky Skin
Milk may contribute to acne, at least in teenage girls. Clement A. Adebamowo of Harvard University analyzed food records for 47,355 women dating back to adolescence. Those who drank more than three servings of any type of milk daily in high school were 22 percent more likely to say they had severe acne at that time than those who drank one or fewer servings per week. The link was strongest for fat-free milk: Those who drank at least two servings daily were 44 percent more likely to say that a doctor had diagnosed them with acne than were drinkers of one or fewer servings per week. Relative to whole milk, nonfat milk contains a higher concentration ?of whey proteins and therefore hormones, and consumption of it further elevates the body's level of the hormone IGF-1. Either of these factors may increase the risk of acne, Adebamowo says.
