Recent Chinese Study Validates Controversial Acne Treatment
(PRLEAP.COM) In 2003, Naweko Nicole Dial, founder of the San Diego based research firm Noixia, argued that malnurishment, among other factors, could cause or worsen acne. Even though medical associations like the American Academy of Dermatology denounce the link between food and acne, Dial's unothodox approach to treating acne continues to get validated by ongoing medical studies. This time, the support came from China. In January, Chinese researchers examined the faces of 1787 women between the ages of 18 and 65 and published their findings in Skin Research and Technology. Upon examining the women, the researchers found a significant link between oily skin and the consumption of spicy or sweet food. Dial notes, “The information provided by the researcher in China goes one step further in legitimizing the link between food and acne.” Dial reflects, “Much of the controversy about food and acne emerges from the chocalate and acne tests that started in the late sixties that observed no link between eating chocalate and the onset of acne.” Dial explains, “The concept that “food causes acne is a myth” has persisted for so long because the medical community has not taken an individualized look at the causes of acne” As Dial explained in her book, Acne Messages: Crack the Code of Your Zits and Say Goodbye to Acne” people have acne because they are still living with their unique acne trigger.

This powerful group of vitamins has a role in nearly every major body system and process. The Vitamin B complex keeps both body and mind functioning and in good health. Vitamin B5, like all of the vitamins in the B complex, is essential to the body for a number of reasons (also see other sections of acne-specialist.com for more information): .
