I think that a lot of people who become vegans/vegetarians don't eat the right kinds of foods.

Yeah that's what I was saying. Most vegetarians I know do not eat a very balanced diet & they have a sick green look about their skin, but the meat eaters I know don't eat so balanced either. So I was just making the point that vegetarian women do have to be careful to not become anemic. I realize it is very possible to be vegetarian or vegan & get enough iron or zinc or whatever.

As for that post about obscure, hidden tribes of people that don't have acne, I have heard of that occurring in the Amazon too (& I dont know if they were even vegetarian...I don't remember the source, sorry). I think it is more than diet. I mean we have all kinds of pollution & stress that those people don't have. Or maybe it is genetics, but those certain people are so isolated from the modern world they haven't mixed with people who have those genes for acne....who knows.

I hope you find your answer darling but I seriously dont think acne has anything to do with food we consume otherwise if you got acne when you were say anywhere from say 12 to 19 or at any time basically what was so different to what you ate when you were under 12 years old before you started getting acne, you are still eating all the same foods that you were eating so how could all of a sudden some food make you break out, but thats just my logic so maybe I could be totally WRONG!! Good luck anyway my friends.

You pour alcohol on the floor and as long as you don't as you don't light a match and throw it in the alcohol pond on the floor you can't cause a fire

Now, let's say the two combine together and you have a destructive fire ... was it the alcohol fault? was it the match fault? should have you prevented it by avoiding pouring the alcohol or avoiding lightening the match?

If your house door is broken and consumed and it is easy for the thieves to break it and get in your house to steal what's in there ... is it the door fault? but isn't the door passive and not doing the thieving itself? shouldn't it be fault of who's doing the thieving? ... and just because something needs a secondary factor to manifest its destructive power ... shouldn't it be considered a "cause" anyway? (even if a cause who needs external passive forces to work?)

I have heard/read diffeent things regarding people who dont get acne.

some say they eat meat and veg no grains.some say they are veggie eating low gi.

some people say eatng meat helped them whilst eating few grains.others low gi is enough-which is my aim as im veggie.so i will see how i go.

after reading posts on paleo diet im starting to wonder,what if im wrong,and we are suppose to be eating meat?.then i think either way i dont think i can.

Acne is multifactorial ... you need 2 + 2 to make 4 ... certain people don't have acne because they have just one 2 and is causing them even worse problems than acne

The nutritional factor is not food but DIET ... the difference is big

Is not a matter of this or that food but how ... month after month your eating pattern AS A WHOLE results in a disrupt hormonal metabolism, nutritional deficiencies, excess of calories, metabolic toxemia ...

Well......For ME... I used to think Dairy was the Culprit because every time I would have a little bit of dairy, I would get huge cystic acne the next day. I was positive itwas Dairy. ( But I also ate lots of cowmeat when consuming dairy )Then one day I bought some ground beef from the store, made tacos ( no cheese ) with it, and stored the leftovers in the fridge for next day. The next day, I went to try to warm up the taco meat and noticed white maggot looking worms all clustered together in one spot of the meat. I was so disgusted, I stayed away from meat. I noticed my skin was improving. So I thought to myself that I should try dairy and see what happens just for kicks. Many Bowls of Macaroni and Cheese, and Large Pepperonipizza's, and Lasagna's have been eaten, and still no huge cystic acne/pimples. Not even a small pimple. Strange indeed, but I can now enjoy dairy. I can pretty much eat chicken, pork, fish... All except Cow Meat. All these people saying that "Not eating meat made acne worse" seems rather fishy.
