There are plenty of rumors on the Internet suggesting that what you eat has a direct effect on dandruff, but can changing your dietreally help get rid of flakes?

One of the more popular theories is that by avoiding foods that encourage yeast to grow in your gut, you can reduce the presence ofyeast on the scalp too.

So how might that affect dandruff? Well, dandruff is caused by a yeast called Malassezia globosa so the theory is that withless yeast being produced, you can tackle the root cause of dandruff.

However, there is no evidence that this is an effective treatment for dandruff.

Malasseziais present on everyone’s scalp regardless of their diet, and reducing your intake of certain “yeast-encouraging" foods hasn’t beenfound to reduce Malassezia on the scalp at all.

In fact, so far no evidence of a link between diet and dandruff has ever been found by regulatory bodies worldwide,including the FDA.

Dandruff flare-ups are most heavily associated with hormonal changes, such as in adolescence or times of stress, or when externalfactors contribute to an unhealthy scalp.

How to really treat dandruff
