Guests Guest Posted March 9, 2013 Guests Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 A study just came out that is related to sugar and diabetes/obesity which is interesting: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/09/sugar-causes-diabetes/1962909/ Isn't it interesting how the scientists still are cautious about sugar's link to disease? As this thread explains clearly sugar's role in rosacea as a rosacea trigger, there still is no proof that sugar causes rosacea, but at the very least you should cut sugar out of your diet to help control your rosacea. It may also help with other health problems such as diabetes and obesity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guests Guest Posted August 14, 2013 Guests Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Another study just came out today in the Washington Post: Study: Sugar even at moderate levels toxic to mice health, reproduction This is another one that confirms sugar's role in health problems. Without a doubt, sugar is not good for rosacea and is considered a rosacea trigger. Here is the actual clinical paper mentioned in the above link: Human-relevant levels of added sugar consumption increase female mortality and lower male fitness in mice James S. Ruff, Amanda K.

Root Admin Guide Posted July 15, 2014 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It convinced me to try taking a better probiotic. I was taking a 1 Billion Lactobacillus acidophilus from Walmart so I even tried to purchase the product the above video was promoting, but their shopping cart was a joke and wouldn't accept my email address. I tried contacting the promoters of the probiotic that is being sold on the site using the contact form and it was a joke too and wouldn't accept my email address. I then contacted them using the whois lookup for the domain registration and got no reply. So, my sister-in-law suggested purchasing iFlora through Amazon which I did and was half the price of the probiotic I won't name that is promoted in the video which has 16 different probiotic strains and has 32 Billion cells per serving and will try it for 30 days. It arrived rather quickly so I have been on day five (or so). I will let you know if I notice any difference. But the video is very impressive and explains in detail why we are unhealthy eating the processed food industry's diet rich in sugar (whether sucrose, fructose, or whatever hidden sugar is in their product) and how we need to improve our good gut flora which has been wiped out by taking antibiotics all those years and restore balance to our body. Makes a lot of sense to me. Worth a try. I will probably do another 30 days or more. Mister Twiggy, are you convinced enough to try taking probiotics and reduce sugar in your diet?

Mister_Twiggy Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am indeed! Where can I learn more about Probiotics? I'm definitely reducing sugar, but reducing carbs has proven difficult because I am already very skinny and trying to put on weight..

Root Admin Guide Posted March 14, 2018 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 David Leonhardt, New York Times, wrote an interesting article, Big Sugar Versus Your Body, mentioning going sugarless for thirty days, which would also help your rosacea and makes this point about going sugarless for a month:“The sugarless month is just a means to an end, and there are other means. Working with experts and colleagues, I’ve now put together an online guide to cutting back on sugar without spending more money or losing the pleasure of eating. That last part is important. Done right, a less sweet diet can be more enjoyable than a sugar-packed one.”Big Sugar Versus Your Bodyhttps://nyti.ms/2tB2dKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Guide Posted January 16, 2020 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 A paper written in 2017 about diet and rosacea never once mentions sugar/carbohydrate as a rosacea trigger and parrots the diet triggers promoted by the NRS while admitting that "Dietary triggers are also frequently cited by patients, although there is a lack of research in this area. In one survey by the National Rosacea Society of over 400 patients, 78% had altered their diet due to rosacea. Of this group, 95% reported a subsequent reduction in flares." The NRS has never listed sugar/carbohydrate as a rosacea trigger, even though the number of anecdotal reports continue to grow that indeed sugar/carbohydrate is just as valid a rosacea trigger as any of the other NRS proposed triggers. The paper about diet and rosacea is cited below: Dermatol Pract Concept. 2017;7(4):31–37.

Root Admin Guide Posted February 19, 2020 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 A new paper states the following, 'A Western diet rich in fat and sugar may lead to inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, a study by UC Davis Health researchers has found." The article mentions that "cholestyramine, a drug used to lower cholesterol levels by binding to bile acids in the intestine, helped reduce the risk of skin inflammation.'

Root Admin Guide Posted February 11, 2021 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 "Because of its implications in many of these factors, diet has been a part of the acne discussion for decades. Several studies have evaluated the significance of the glycemic index of various foods and glycemic load in patients with acne, demonstrating individuals with acne who consume diets with a low glycemic load have reduced acne lesions compared with individuals on high glycemic load diets....Multiple studies have shown that Americans are consuming too much added sugars, fat, carbohydrate, and sodium and too few whole grains...Two randomized controlled trials have shown that low-GL diets reduce acne lesion counts, body weight, and body fat compared with a carbohydrate-dense control diet in people with acne [39, 52]. Another study involved patients with mild-to-moderate acne randomized to either a low-GL diet or a high-GL diet for 10 weeks [53]. Those on a low-GL diet demonstrated significant reductions in noninflammatory and inflammatory lesion counts, smaller sebaceous glands, decreased inflammation, and reduced acne severity grading...There is strong support for the reduction of acne with regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and low-GI and low-GL diets." Am J Clin Dermatol. 2021; 22(1): 55–65.
