The Dietary Cure For Acne

With 174 scientific references, "The Dietary Cure for Acne" by Loren Cordain, Ph.D., offers a comprehensive approach to clearing up skin within 30 days. Addressing all four known causes of acne, the book explains how diet influences hormones, fat types affect bacteria proliferation, and certain foods can impact pore function. Chapter four delves into the mechanisms behind acne healing, detailing the role of IGFBP-3, IGF-1, and the enzyme ZAG. Chapter six identifies 11 acne-promoting foods to avoid and provides an action plan for dietary changes. The diet consists of two phases: Phase 1 focuses on attacking acne causes with specific nutritional tools, while Phase 2 maintains progress over the next three months and beyond. Chapter seven provides details on "The Good Foods," including a sample menu and comprehensive information on recommended food choices. By following the dietary guidelines outlined in the book, readers can prevent pore blockage, reduce oil production, calm inflammation, and combat bacterial infection associated with acne.
