Hi

My acne and a condition called keratosis pilaris were caused by insulin resistance. They both went away when i lost excess weight and ate blood sugar balancing meals, eg real foods with protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and wholegrains. Also my cystic acne was caused by oxalates in certain foods. I found that squeezing lemon juice on medium oxalate foods, such as brown rice and lentils, prevents cysts for me but high oxalate foods always give me cysts. I read the lemon juice tip somewhere and I'm not sure why it works. Oxalates are in many plant foods at varying levels.
