Oh sorted I was just wondering because everyone says most oils cause acne

[forest327]

I am convinced that peanut butter causes mild cystic acne for me but it usually takes 1-2 weeks to show up. I am 41 yrs old and had moderate whitehead with some cystic type acne in my teen and early 20s on my face and back. I rarely eat peanut butter as an adult because of the calories but had a craving last year so bought a jar and ate it over a couple weeks and about two weeks later got two big acne cysts on my face after very many years of not having that. I thought about what changed in my diet and then was suspicious the peanut butter caused it because it was the only thing different. A year later I tried having a couple of peanut butter sandwiches and a week later had two small cysts on my face again. Some people say it is "just the oil" but I eat a ton of almonds and other oily foods with no problems as an adult. Maybe I am wrong but I am pretty sure that peanut butter has a direct affect on causing cysts for me.

doesnt seem to make mine any worse.i eat natural pb, without added sucrose.

dairy and animal fat seems to make things worse.

Nuts break me out in the sideburn/neck area every time. I can get away with eating stuff with some nuts in it but peanut butter or almond butter consistently breaks me out.

Yes it did.

But I was eating the crappy KD version with all the added junk.

I read that eating peanut butter or peanuts raises your testosterone levels which will in fact cause acne in those that are sensitive to hormone fluctuations. I learned this the hard way after moving back from Japan where they never eat peanut butter and I started eating it on my toast everyday. 2 weeks into that habit ~DISASTER~.

I really doubt it's the peanut butter if it's not showing up until 2 weeks later.

i'm looking to get some peanut butter or almond butter, but i want what's best for my health or least aggravates my acne ...

so almond butter is better than peanut butter correct?

It probably does for me, but it tastes so good on sweet potatoes and its worth it! I tried cutting it out before and it might of made a slight difference, but not enough to jusity cutting it out.

I just broke down and ate like two tablespoons of peanut butter because cutting out dairy, soy, peanuts, and reducing fat intake in general has made me really hungry..I hope I don't break out tomorrow
