Dairy Consumption in Teenagers with and without Acne

J Am Acad Dermatol; ePub 2016 May 27; LaRosa, et al

Publish date:: June 6, 2016

Consuming low-fat/skim milk was linked with acne in a case-control study involving 225 individuals. Full-fat milk was not associated with such.

Participants ranged between 14 and 19 years of age and had either moderate acne or no acne. Investigators conducted up to 3, 24-hour diet recall interviews, and compared food and nutrient intake in the 2 groups. Among the results:

• Those with acne consumed a significantly higher amount of low-fat/skim milk, compared with participants in the non-acne group.

• There was no significant difference when looking at total dairy intake, saturated fat or trans-fat, or glycemic load.

• There was no significant difference for total energy intake or body mass index.
