    Nutritional deficiencies and dehydration can affect the skin, as can diabetes, heart disease, liver disease and obesity. NIH MedlinePlus

    The advice for this step comes from official health agencies and published research — the badge on each line shows which.

Authorised claims say a nutrient contributes to a normal body function. They do not mean that eating more than you need improves that function, or that a food treats any condition. Population studies show associations, not proof of cause.
