The negative effects seem to lie in the capacity
of some foods / nutrients to stimulate proliferative pathways that in turn stimulate development
of acne — suspect foods include those
with a
high glycaemic load and milk.11, 43, 44 Other evidence comes from several studies reporting that the prevalence
of acne varies significantly between different populations and is substantially lower in non-Westernized populations that follow traditional diets, 45 a common factor among these traditional diets being a low glycaemic load.46 Various studies have provided evidence that
high - glycaemic - load diets are implicated in the aetiology
of acne through their capacity to stimulate insulin, androgen bioavailability and insulin - like growth factor - 1 (IGF - 1) activity, whereas the beneficial effects
of low - glycaemic - load diets, apart from weight and
blood glucose levels, also include improved skin quality.44 The clinical and experimental evidence does in fact suggest ways in which insulin can increase androgen production and affect via induction
of steroidogenic enzymes, 47 the secretion by the pituitary gland
of gonadotropin - releasing hormone and the production
of sex hormone - binding globulin.48 Insulin is also able to reduce serum
levels of IGF - binding protein - 1 increasing the effect
of IGF - 1.49 These insulin - mediated actions can therefore influence diverse factors that underlie the development
of acne such as:
We would like to emphasize that ketosis is a completely physiological mechanism and it was the biochemist Hans Krebs who first referred to physiological ketosis to differentiate it from the pathological keto acidosis seen in type 1 diabetes.8 In physiological ketosis (which occurs during very - low - calorie ketogenic diets), ketonemia reaches maximum
levels of 7/8 mmol / l (it does not go
higher precisely because the CNS efficiently uses these molecules for energy in place
of glucose) and
with no change in pH, whereas in uncontrolled diabetic ketoacidosis it can exceed 20 mmol / l
with a concomitant lowering
of blood pH9, 10 (Table 1).
Also, to mention the Atkins diet, in the book I read, the diet begins
with a two week very low carb diet [20 grams
of carbo perday] in order to transition the body into a state
of nutritional ketosis, using ketones not
glucose / insulin for energy generation; however, it is not intended to be a permanent such state but rather for the dieter to gradually add in carbs; however, is one added in only up to the limit, which varies from person to person,
of carbs to just below the lvel that would transition out
of ketosis, then Atkins would work
with that in mind and requiring monitoring for
blood or urine ketone
levels and must needs be
high fat,, moderate protein, and low carbs
