Check for any additives in your foods/drinks, even chewing gum. Emulsifiers, sweeteners (particularly artificial like sucralose and aspartame), nanoparticles, preservatives, and other chemicals may indirectly contribute acne through several mechanisms: 1. Inflammation: Some additives may promote systemic inflammation, which can exacerbate acne. For example:

Artificial sweeteners like aspartame

Preservatives such as sodium benzoate

Artificial colors and dyes

2. Hormonal disruption: Certain additives may interfere with hormone balance, potentially leading to increased sebum production:

Bovine growth hormone in dairy products

Synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT

3. Gut microbiome alteration: Additives that negatively affect gut bacteria can indirectly impact skin health:

4. Insulin response: Additives that affect blood sugar levels may indirectly influence acne:

High fructose corn syrup

Refined sugars and starches used as fillers

5. Oxidative stress: Some additives may increase oxidative stress in the body:

Certain artificial preservatives

Synthetic antioxidants

6. Nutrient absorption: Additives that interfere with nutrient absorption could potentially impact skin health:

Certain emulsifiers and thickeners

Gut effects

There is evidence that certain food additives may have negative effects on gut health and the intestinal lining. Here's an overview of some key points: 1. Emulsifiers: Studies have shown that some emulsifiers like carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate 80 can alter gut bacteria composition and potentially damage the mucus layer protecting the intestinal lining. A 2015 study in mice found these emulsifiers induced low-grade inflammation and metabolic syndrome. 2. Artificial sweeteners: Research suggests artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame may disrupt the gut microbiome. A 2014 study in Nature found that artificial sweeteners altered gut bacteria in ways that could induce glucose intolerance. 3. Nanoparticles: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, used as a whitening agent (E171), have been shown in some studies to potentially damage intestinal cells and alter gut microbiota. A 2017 study in Scientific Reports found these nanoparticles could induce colonic inflammation in mice. 4. Preservatives: Some preservatives like sodium benzoate have been associated with increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") in animal studies. A 2016 study in the World Journal of Gastroenterology found sodium benzoate increased gut permeability in rats. 5. Glucose-fructose syrup: High consumption of glucose-fructose syrup (also known as high-fructose corn syrup) has been linked to alterations in gut bacteria and increased intestinal permeability in some studies. 746cf1cb-c8b5-474b-bf9d-0c6e179589b6 (edited)
