It never ceases to amaze me the number of (so called) professionals that continue to insist that diet and acne are not related. Acne breakouts are the result of your body being overloaded with hormones or toxic chemicals and it’s attempt to get rid of this overload by sending the material out through your skin in sebum oil. How anyone could believe that putting more of these chemicals and hormones into your body won’t affect how your body reacts is beyond me.
For some of us, acne first begins to appear in our early teen years. Your hormone production is pegged on high and your body is getting rid of the excess in sebum oil that is sent out through your skin. The presence of too much sebum on your skin is the first requirement for pimple formation.
Since your body is already overloaded with hormones, adding more would be foolish, don’t you think? Well, consuming any kind of dairy product does just that. Regular milk, for instance, contains fifty-nine different hormones from the cow and even more hormones from the steroids that were given to the cow to stimulate milk production. Eliminating dairy products is a mainstay of any good acne 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 body reacts to these chemicals the same way that it did for the excessive hormones in your teen years. Your body then begins sending the toxins out in sebum oil, starting your acne formation.
Any effective anti-acne diet will eliminate processed foods to remove the root cause of extra sebum production.
The simple facts presented here point to a definite link between your diet and acne formation. Never forget that the pimples that form on your skin are the result of a deeper problem. To get rid of the outer problem (acne), you must help your body regain the internal balance that is the root of your problem.
