milk+acne

[Bill W]

That is an old wive's tale from many moons ago.

Acne is mostly due to bacterial infection of the skin and overactive sebacious glands.

I agree - as does every doctor I've ever talked to about it - food has no effect.

*However*, if you have an allergy of some sort, it can exacerbate a condition. Caffeine allergy, for example, can cause the formation of pustules when caffeine is ingested from what I understand.

i drink alot of milk and never noticed any acne problems

ANCE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU EAT OR DRINK.

i notice when i eat alot of fast food or dont drink enough water, my skin gets real oily and as far as acne goes that is not good....alot of oil in the skin is a perfect way for acne to develop

hey

Sorry guys

I don't normally jump into these arguments, but this time I feel I have a place.

I was acne prone when I was younger, and still am very acne prone.

Any doctor that says food doesn't bring it on is full of shit.

Now, I avoid candy bars, potato chips, pop, greasy food, fast food etc because I now realize that that shit is just bad for the body.

I have also noticed that when i avoid those things, I have no trouble with acne flareups.

But, if I devour those very things, on come the little red creatures.

So, take it from a person prone to ance - what you eat CAN bring on acne.

p.s. I am saying no on the dairy because I LIVE off dairy, for the most part, and have no troubles.

your diet has nothing to do with your body producing too much oil

you can say whatever you want, but i know how it affects me and my diet does have an affect on how much oil my body produces

dude - not to single you out, but can you explain why, during the holidays when I cheat a bit, and devour can after can of pringles and handfuls upon handfuls of smarties, why I breakout?

mild allergic reaction to something.....high amounts of sugar intake won't effect your acne....that's the kind of stuff your mother tells you so you take it easy on the sweets!
