Description
Maryam Fallah and co-authors examine, in a 2024 study, whether diets that yield more acid in the body are tied to worse disease in people with a blistering skin condition. No past study had looked at diet acid load in this illness, called pemphigus vulgaris. The team studied 138 adult patients at a referral center in Iran.
Diet over the past year was captured with a long food survey, and disease severity was scored by a standard index. Patients with the highest acid load diets had much higher odds of severe disease than those with the lowest. The link held after other factors were taken into account. The authors call for more work to test cause and effect.
