Cool news you guys. I’ve been working with Daniel, our intern, as well as a statistician, and a well known doctor to put together a “prospective dietary trial” on milk and acne. What is a “prospective dietary trial”? Well, it means basically that we’re going to ask people on Acne.org to stop eating and drinking dairy and to fill out surveys and take pictures to document changes in their acne symptoms. If we get enough people to volunteer and follow through, it could be seminal research on the topic. Pretty darn cool.

Daniel, our intern, has been amazing with all of this–big shout out to him. He’s basically running the show. But all of us can be involved too! I’ve decided to be a candidate for the study, which will be hard because it will mean no pizza, but I’ll do it in the name of science! I’ll let you all know when this starts and when you can sign up.

Hey you guys. This video took forever to edit and upload. It’s pretty long so be prepared. Kent worked really hard on it

I just watched the video and realized I am talking about eating a ton of carbs and dairy and sugar. I have an inkling that this might not be great for acne, although the research still doesn’t show it definitively. I just wanted to clarify that I don’t necessarily recommend this diet to people who are in the throws of acne. Eating low glycemic and sensibly is most likely the most prudent way to go. Having said that, hey, it’s the holidays and we’re probably all going to cheat a little, so that’s understandable.
