    • <p>Desserts like cake, pastries, and even bars of chocolate are frequently linked to causing acne due to their high sugar content. “Limit the amount of sugar that you eat since sugar aggravates acne,” says Jaliman. When consuming high amounts of sugar, your blood sugar levels increase, allowing your insulin levels to quickly spike. This sudden sugar rush within the body leads to inflammation,  which can reveal itself in the form of acne. <br /></p><p><i>(Photo: Getty Images)</i></p>

University of Michigan, almost $12 BILLION. Yale, Texas, Stanford, Princeton all in the $20-$30 BILLION area. So, why is the tuition rising so much and so quickly again?
