The raison d'etre of this website is to provide you with hard scientific information which may help you make informed decisions in your quest for health (so far I have blogged concise summaries of over 1,500 scientific studies and have had three books published).

My research is mainly focused on the effects of cholesterol, saturated fat and statin drugs on health. If you know anyone who is worried about their cholesterol levels and heart disease, or has been told to take statin drugs you could send them a link to this website, and to my statin or cholesterol or heart disease books.

Carbohydrate restriction helps reduce acne

This post includes a summary of a paper published in the Ulster Medical Journal 1940 April; 9(1): 39–43 and a recipe for turkey meatballs.

Study title and author:
Acne Vulgaris
Reginald Hall

Carbohydrates Can Kill
Books:

The author states: "It has been shown that carbohydrate in large quantity has a hydrating effect on the skin which encourages infective processes, and certainly the majority of cases of acne take a high carbohydrate diet"

He then recommends, "Carbohydrate should be restricted, especially white bread, cakes, pastries, chocolate, and cane sugar, all of which tend to promote fermentative processes in the intestine"
