It never ceases to amaze me the number of (so called) professionals that continue to insist that diet and acne are not related. If you suffer from acne it’s because your body has a low tolerance for certain chemicals and/or hormones that are present inside of you, and is using sebum oil in an attempt to get rid the excess. Do your seriously think that adding more of these chemicals that are in processed food won’t kick your acne into hyperdrive?
Your first acne breakout probably occurred during your early teenage years. During this time, your hormone production runs wild and your body reacts by sending the excess out through your skin in sebum oil. This is how all acne pimples start.
Would you agree that, since your hormone level is already too high, do you think it’s smart to add even more? Any dairy product that you may consume will do just that. Just drinking a glass of milk will add saturated animal fat, various steroids, and 59 different hormones to your system. An effective acne diet will severely limit, or, better yet, eliminate dairy from your diet.
If acne follows you into your adult years, your body’s low tolerance level most likely extends to the chemicals used in processed foods, as well. Your system views these chemicals the same way that it saw the hormones of your youth. Your body then begins sending the toxins out in sebum oil, starting your acne formation.
A proper diet for acne prone skin will stress your need to eliminate processed foods from your diet, removing the cause of excess sebum production.
Even these small examples show a definite link between what you eat and acne formation. Never forget that the pimples that form on your skin are the result of a deeper problem. Eliminate the internal cause, and the external result will go away naturally.
