High and medium glycemic index (GI) foods are known to spike blood sugar causing a stress response, which can trigger acne in acne-prone individuals.
The glycemic index was originally designed for diabetics, and ranks carbohydrate-containing foods and beverages on how they influence your blood sugar. Each food or beverage is given a score on a scale from 0 to 100. The glycemic index only ranks foods and beverages that have a strong influence on blood sugar. There are many websites and books that provide lists of GI values for different foods. Becoming familiar with glycemic index is an important tool in learning to manage your health and your skin.
