Anecdotal, but I had psoriasis and I accidentally got rid of it. I moved into a new flat and, due to the state of the kitchen, ate junk food for a few days, then went the other way to eat anything but junk food. After a week my skin got better in many ways and I realised that I had quit sugar. So I decided to make a streak of it, for thirty days. Thirty days came and went, with added sugar removed from my diet. So I still eat fruit, which is fine to enjoy, but absolutely no added sugar enters my home under any circumstances. Sweeteners are banned too, even honey, because that is probably sugar pretending to be honey. As well as the psoriasis there were other skin blemishes that I had always had, yet they had gone. No added sugar means I always have to home cook, from single ingredient foods. There were a dozen other health gains and just moving is so much nicer these days. I haven't any time for scales, tape measures and so forth, but my belt does not lie. I would highly recommend that you do a trial of not eating added sugar if you have the misery of psoriasis and have been given creams that don't work and have assumed it is vitamin D for that to work for a bit. I am no doctor and my experience is anecdotal, but this has to be the best thing ever for my skin. Regarding the article, my skin feels naturally moisturised and I have no body odour to speak of. It turns out that sugar is really bad for the skin and I am wondering if it is this sugar in everything we eat that is the problem rather than the sun when it comes to protection from the sun. My view is that suncream only makes sense if you eat a lot of sugar, and that restored skin, with no added sugar, is much more resilient. This summer I am going to put the suncream away and see if I die of skin cancer. Well, that is an exaggeration, but my view from ditching the added sugar is that the sun is not the enemy but sugar might be.
