Sugar consumption in acne vulgaris and seborrhoeic dermatitis
Open accessAbstract
gress.But further and more elaborate investigation would'be required to test this possibility. SUMMARYThe consumption of sugar (sucrose) by patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis was found to be significantly higher than that of two groups of control subjects.On the other hand, the con- sumption of sugar by patients with acne vulgaris was found to be no different from that of control subjects.

17.9% (5/28) of observational studies exclusively assessed the association between GI/glycemic load and acne.
“Overall, 17.9% (5/28) of the observational studies exclusively assessed the association between GI/glycemic load and acne (Table I).19, 20, 21, 22, 23”
From Diet and acne: A systematic review (2022) · cites this paper as [20]
The Results (pp. 153–155) describe an observational comparison of sugar intake in patients with both acne and seborrhoeic dermatitis. This paper therefore is not an example of a study exclusively assessing glycemic index or glycemic load and acne. The 5/28 figure is the citing paper’s tally, not a figure reported by this source.

Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredArticles such as Bett et al and Adebamowo et al, which relied on participants' recall of diet consumption/habit days, weeks, or even years after the fact, were likely subject to more substantial biases.
“In contrast, articles such as those by Bett et al20 and Adebamowo et al,24 which relied on participants’ recall of diet consumption/habit days, weeks, or even years after the fact, were likely subject to more substantially biases.”
From Diet and acne: A systematic review (2022) · cites this paper as [20]
The Summary says Bett et al. measured sugar intake with a short questionnaire, and the Dietary Questionary asks participants to picture an average day and report past changes in their habits. This supports the characterization as self-reported dietary recall, but the paper does not establish that consumption was recalled days, weeks, or years after specific events. The suggestion of greater bias is the citing authors’ inference, not a finding reported by Bett et al. (LLM, conf=0.82)

Appendix: Measurement of Sugar Consumption by Questionary We have reported several studies in which we have measured the consumption of sugar (sucrose) by a method based on a simple questionary. The original method involved the com- pletion of the form by an interviewer (Yudkin and Roddy, 1964). More recently, the questionary has been simplified further so that it can be completed by the subject himself (Yudkin and-Morland, 1967). We have given reasons for our belief that the method is reliable (Yudkin, 1964) and we have more recently tested its reliability against the method that on 19 August 2023 by guest.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
