More than 60 television stations across the country, including WNBC-TV in New York City, and a number of Web sites, are running a story on research that shows a link between milk, iodine and acne, and quotes Harvey Arbesman, clinical assistant professor of dermatology, who says "It has been well-established since the 1960s that iodine intake can exacerbate acne.
