by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A new study reported in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology has found a link between consumption of skimmed milk and the development of severe acne. Women who drank two or more servings of skimmed milk were 44% more likely to develop the condition; those who consumed more than three servings of any kind of milk were 22% more likely.
Milk can cause acne, a new US study has claimed.
Researchers found that women who drank two or more servings of skimmed milk ever day were 44% more likely to have developed severe acne.
Women who drank more than three daily servings of any type of milk were 22% more likely to have suffered from acne.
The study, reported in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, was based on analysis of survey responses from 47,335 women involved in an ongoing health study.
Researchers conclude: "We found a positive association with acne for intake of total milk and skim milk.
"We hypothesise that the association with milk may be because of the presence of hormones and bioactive molecules in milk."
