Loren Cordain, Ph.D. has just published an ebook titled The Dietary Cure for Acne. Cordain reviews the four known proximate causes of acne (pore blockage, excess oil production, bacterial infection and inflammation) and explains the underlying cause behind all of them: the modern diet. Cordain's ebook reveals how high glycemic foods increase oil production, and how dietary lectins prevent skin cells from sloughing off properly.
I personally have found a Paleo diet to nearly, though not yet completely, eliminate my chronic cystic acne. It is no longer significant enough to be noticeable to others.
A place for sharing information on ancestral ways of eating and lifestyles that are biologically appropriate, given what is available to us today. Emphasizing whole foods that meet individual needs, instead of man-made, mass-manufactured foods, and using information from science, tradition, personal experience, and any credible sources. WARNING: Serious problems have been reported with very low carb diets. See Spanish Caravan's online comments (ex: http://tinyurl.com/m2f73fc)
