The Risks and
Side Effects of Prescription Acne Medications
Soda and other sugary beverages are currently the leading single source of calories for people in America. This alone shows why the topic of soda is a very important one. Most people consume soda very regularly. For someone suffering with acne, soda is one of the worst items you can consume. Why is this so?
The primary reason that soda is such a problem is the sugar content. One 12 ounce soda has around 50 grams of sugar in it. Soda allows for very rapid intake of very high amounts of sugar. In order to eat this much sugar from a candy or dessert will take you a while and it's very likely you may be sick of eating it well before reaching 50 grams of sugar. In addition, sugar from most desserts will take far longer to reach the bloodstream than from a soda. You want to avoid the intense spike in blood sugar levels that soda provides.
Sugar is of course the acne sufferer's worst enemy. Sugar causes many bad side effects in the body. The full details of sugar can be found on our sugar page. Now, with soda, the sugar is in a liquid. This makes the body absorb the sugar with extreme speed. One of the acne sufferer's worst problems is spiking blood sugar to a high level. This tends to cause extra pimples immediately. This is why there are things known as "sugar pimples." They tend to show up very quickly after eating lots of refined sugar. There is no such thing as a "meat pimple" or "vegetable pimple" or even "fruit pimples." That phrase only shows up in regards to refined sugars and rightfully so, due to their fast acting nature with bad effects.
In addition, it is very common for people to drink much more than 12 ounces of soda at a time. 3 to 5 times that amount is not uncommon. Indeed there are many people today who drink more than 144 ounces of soda per day. Their health cannot last long.
For the acne sufferer there can be no compromise. Soda must be eliminated entirely from your diet. This may be difficult as you may be addicted to the caffeine. If so, try switching to coffee if you need to, without all the popular corn syrups for added flavor! Caffeine is not nearly the problem for acne that sugar is. Also remember that sugar can be addictive in its own right. Going from 12 cans a day to 0 can be extraordinarily difficult for people, despite no one thinking that sugar has any addictive qualities. If you are drinking such a high amount it might be good to simply reduce your intake for a very short time before cutting it out completely.
It is rare that someone who has had a strong case of acne can continue to drink soda after being clear without any problems. Removing soda from your diet is a lifelong commitment. Don't worry, once you no longer drink it for a time and know what a horrible effect soda has on your health and acne you will have no problems avoiding it.
