oil and water do not mix very well.
perhaps its part of containing our bodys water content, otherwise we would need more water to stay hydrated.

Acne has huge evolutionary benefits, from my perspective.
If I had never got acne, I wouldn't be as ridiculously healthy and active as I am today. I never would have researched and experimented with diet and lifestyle changes. If instead of getting, acne, I got cancer when I was 60 or slowly got fat or something, I never would have been MOTIVATED enough to find out what was wrong with me. Acne has direct social implications and inspires immediate change and questions.
Despite suffering from it through supposedly the "best" 6 years of my life, i'm very glad I got acne, and even more glad I beat it into oblivion and got on top of it.

Avoiding carbs / sugar and eating more fat, the way humans have been eating for millions of years.
...and a baseball bat!

I eat healthfully too, but it doesn't seem to have a huge impact. Maybe I should get me a baseball bat...

That's pretty interesting.
I also think we're probably more horny than the average person.
