I obviously am no scientist, but I'm ready to agree with the study's findings. I'm sure no one wants to know about my personal history, so I'll skip that. But, I'm convinced that acne is connected to systemic yeast overgrowth (yeast is obviously a big component of bread). The enormous amount of refined sugars we eat (in chocolate, in bread, in corn syrup, etc.) feed the yeast that causes outbreaks. Sweets themselves may not be the direct cause of acne, but I believe they are a catalyst for causing yeast overgrowth, which in turn results in acne (among other possible symptoms).

I used to get some mild but prominent acne on my face. After doing a three month yeast purge using oregano oil and acidophilus, and after cutting all refined sugars out of my diet, I no longer get the breakouts. I'm entirely convinced the culprit was yeast.

I say: get rid of that bread!!! ;-)

Uh, isn't chocolate a highly processed grain type carb?

Oh, and saying 'low carb diet' is misleading. You should say processed or simple carb diet instead. One should still eat the same amount of carbohydratess, just make sure that they're the unprocessed, complex variety (eg, fruits and vegetables).
