Book Reviews of The Clear Skin Diet
Book Review: A Life Saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are having problems with acne, this is the book for you. Everything finally makes sense. I love how the authors broke up the book and included every aspect that would influence acne. They explain everything so well. I learned more about acne from this book then talking with my dermatologist! I never realized how a little life changes could clear my acne. This is a must have!!Book Review: A Must Read for Anyone with Acne
Summary: 5 Stars
This is arguably the most important book on skin care in the last decade. It is not about hearsay, old wives tales etc, and it is not based on opinion or testimonials it is about scientific advances that have clearly shown that diet and acne are linked beyond any doubt. In addition to the updated diet and acne research from Harvard, Australia and other centres, there are some 300 scientific references in the back to support the connections. I thought it was an interesting combination of authors, a naturopathic doctor and a conventional dermatologist, and this seems to pay off for the reader. The chapters provide scientific explanations for why sugar, milk and so-called bad fats can promote acne. On the other hand, they also describe why whole grains, fibre, antioxidants, omega-3 fish oil and green tea can help acne. The authors provide shaded boxes for some specific anti-acne nutrients like zinc, selenium and some others, and they explain why acne patients may need more of these nutrients and where they can be found in foods. I liked the stress-acne chapter, how stress influences dietary choices, and the guidance on stress management was appropriate. This book should be in every high school library and the waiting room of every dermatologist's office.Book Review: A New Beginning

This is a new begining for me I have suffered with acne from my teens to now in my fifties. Nothing ever worked for me. The book gave me info that made a big difference in my skin and my life. The diet and omega 3 fish oil is a must. I am thrilled!Book Review: A change in American diet for good.

Summary: 5 Stars
The book was extremely detailed and provided research to back their claims - occassionally some of the descriptions of the research findings were a bit too detailed for me to keep my attention but I definitely appreciated the writers providing the research and also the obvious lack of research into the relationship between diet & acne which also has led to lack of education in dermatologists regarding diet (in all my years of acne and multiple doctors I have not had a single one ask me about my diet - it was been through the internet and this book I discovered this finding). I was making changes very early on in the book - before hitting the chapter telling you what to do and I definitely saw improvement. I didn't make any dramatic changes but I definitely agree with 2 main points they make - the affect of dairy increasing acne and the use of high omega 3 fatty acid foods to help decrease acne. I don't stay on a "strict" diet because of this book but it has made me more aware of the foods I put into my body so that I make better choices - and I have clear skin right now to prove it :)
