Summary: Nutrition plays a key role in the pathogenesis of acne, with high glycemic index diet, milk, and chocolate exacerbating acne while foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids have a therapeutic effect. Omega-3 fatty acids such as docosapentaenoic acid and gamma-linolenic acid have been shown to improve acne lesions.

Summary: The study revealed that a diet high in GL, GI, II, and IL can increase the incidence of diabetes. Glycemic and insulin load are stronger predictors of diabetes risk compared to glycemic index and insulin index.

Summary: This study found that there is a positive correlation between high glycemic load, high insulin load, and high glycemic index with the odds of developing colorectal cancer. On the other hand, high carbohydrate quality index and low-carbohydrate diet score are significantly negatively associated with the odds of colorectal cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to follow a diet with high-quality carbohydrates, low glycemic index, and low glycemic load to minimize the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Summary: In children with type 1 diabetes, a healthy lifestyle is crucial for glycemic control and reducing inflammatory effects. Glycemic index and load are important indicators to assess the quality of food consumed. Recent studies have shown that incorporating low-glycemic-index foods into the diet can result in better glycemic stability and reduced hyperglycemic peaks.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between carbohydrate quality index (CQI), low-carbohydrate diet score (LCDS), glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), insulin load (IL), insulin index (II) and bone mass density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. The results showed that diets with higher GI increased the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis, while LCDS and CQI decreased the risk. These findings suggest that a higher intake of fruits and vegetables, as well as various dietary vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds, may be an effective way to prevent osteopenia in Iranian women.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the relationship of acute glucose and insulin postprandial responses with longer-term effects on diabetes-related risk factors through a systematic review and meta-analysis of dietary intervention studies. Results showed that changes in acute postprandial glucose responses were associated with changes in fasting plasma glucose, but not with fasting insulin. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of acute postprandial changes on long-term risk factors.

Summary: Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease with multifactorial causes. Besides factors such as abnormal keratinocyte proliferation, altered sebum production, and bacterial colonization, diet is also associated with the development, severity, and response to treatment of acne.

Summary: This systematic review explores the relationship between acne and dietary habits, finding that high GI/GL food, dairy products, fatty food, and chocolate may exacerbate acne, while fatty acids, fruit, and vegetable intake may act as protective factors. Future research needs to further investigate the specific dietary components in different foods affecting acne.

Summary: Lipidomics is advantageous for studying sebum perturbations in acne. In this study, sebum lipid profiles in acne-prone areas of dark skin in Nigeria were evaluated. The results showed that individuals with acne had significantly higher abundance of certain components in sebum, suggesting a potential association with acne development.

Summary: Our understanding of the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is continuously evolving, with factors such as genetics, hormones, inflammation, and environment playing a significant role. Diet has been a longstanding topic of discussion in acne pathophysiology, particularly in terms of glycemic load, dairy consumption, and fatty acid intake. Studies have shown potential benefits of probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids in individuals with acne, suggesting a need for further research in these areas.

Summary: This study examined Montenegrin secondary school pupils' self-perceived beliefs regarding factors that exacerbate and ameliorate acne. Many of these beliefs were found to be myths and misconceptions without scientific evidence. Efforts are needed to educate students about the real causes and treatments of acne.

Summary: Insulin resistance may play a role in the development of acne vulgaris, as indicated by this cohort study and systematic review. The findings suggest that insulin resistance is more common in acne vulgaris patients and should be considered as an independent factor in diagnosis and treatment.
