I’ve been consuming quite a good amount of peanut butter lately, and all of a sudden, my face is breaking out with lots of blackheads. Could it be the peanuts butter?

If you believe rich foods such as peanut butter contribute to acne flareups and pimples, you’re not alone. Simple carbohydrates and sugars added to peanut butter to improve flavor and texture could aggravate acne problems. Easily digested high-glycemic foods cause a surge in blood sugar levels and a matching rise in blood insulin. Shifting levels of insulin and blood sugar cause increased androgen production in your body. As glands in your skin secrete more oil, follicles clog and a new acne outbreak begins. Choosing a brand of peanut butter with no extra ingredients could ease your symptoms, if added to a healthy diet plan.
Eating anything in moderation should not give you any issues, unless you have an allergy to that food or its ingredients. Remember that a well balanced diet and proper hydration and exercise is paramount to good health. From my perspective I found that over eating of sugar and carbohydrate based foods as well as stress, has packed on weight for me, so I have changed to a Keto like diet and am seeing results with that! Changing your food choices will have an effect on the health of your skin.
