Acne is difficult and embarrassing and it does not matter how old you are, or how many years that you have had acne you still feel like a spotty teenager trying to grow up.
It is a myth that you will grow out of acne, it is not a rite of passage with a happy ending, though it can be! There have been numerous studies researching the association between dairy and acne including the Nurses' Health Study involving 47,355 women in 1998.
Many people believe that food allergies trigger acne and at the top of the list of suspects is dairy products and gluten.
Unfortunately many teenage and adult acne sufferers miss this connection because it takes a while for acne to heal and the connection between giving up dairy and the acne cure are missed.
Some farmers admit that at least three quarters of the milk that is produced comes from cows that are pregnant.
It is not rocket science to understand that the teenager suffering from acne has raging hormones and so does the pregnant cow.
That is a recipe for more acne because the milk contains buttermilk which has progesterone a major precursor to DHT, which is the primary acne producing hormone in humans.
This buttermilk appears in milk, cheese, butter and yoghurt, so it is possible that that pizza causes acne big time.
Yes I know that you have read a hundred times that there is no connection between food and acne, chocolate does not cause acne.
That is correct one occasional piece or even a bar of chocolate will not give you acne, but the connection between acne and hormones was established over sixty years ago.
WHY HAS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ACNE AND DAIRY REMAINED A SECRET? Think about it you have got acne and you go and see your dermatologist every six weeks and you pay them.
Why should they give you a cure for acne and never see you again? Dermatologists and health care professionals are protecting their interests and their income in the same way that medical researchers' are looking for a vaccine against AIDS rather than a cure.
Why research a cure when you can research a vaccine that can be given to so many more people.
Dr Jerome K Fisher first highlighted the link between dairy products and acne in the 1960's whilst conducting research for the American Dermatological Association.
He examined 1088 patients' in a longitudinal study over a ten year period, in his Pasadena practise.
Without a shadow of doubt acne was caused by ingesting milk, sugar and fat.
Progesterone causes acne because it breaks down into androgens which stimulate the production of sebum, a waxy substance secreted by the glands in the upper trunk and head.
These glands are blocked by the hardened sebum, which creates a blackhead.
The body needs to get rid of this foreign blackhead so it becomes inflamed and this causes a pimple.
Inside the pimple the body and lymph fluids are trapped and bacteria can thrive on this and create a pustule.
Once this happens the bacteria poisons the edge of the skin cells and leaves a nasty and often permanent scar.
Most of Dr Fishers patients drank more milk than was average in the population at large and once his patients had reduced or cut out the dairy products they found that they were cured of acne.
The choice is clear do you want a slice of pizza and an acne scar or to have clear skin.
