Skin health and dietary sugars
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Skin is the body’s first layer of defence and a key organ of our immune system, protecting the body from the external environment. Skin is important for the production of vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones. Skin can also be an indicator of overall health (for example, skin rashes can be a sign of infection).
