What would you be willing to give up to have good skin? I was reading that some dermatologists say acne sufferers should go off of all milk products. Someone told me she was told to go off of salt for six months. Would you be willing to do this?

Depends on how bad the skin is.

I don't have great skin, but if I couldn't have any milk, I'd half starve to death. And salt? That means you couldn't eat meat because no matter how much you wash out the salt, there's still plenty left. |

Shrug, DD did that already. She did everything. She finally went on Accutane.

I cannot give up salt unless I want my blood pressure to be deathly low. (and I like salty food but that's a secondary problem.)

I wouldn't now, but maybe I would have when I was dating.

It was an enormous deal. Her entire back, chest and arms were covered. It was beyond vanity, IMO.
That said, taking Accutane can be playing with fire. The risks are many and don't always show up right away. She decided it was worth it. -------------------- "Scientific experimentation is like sex. Sometimes something useful comes out of it, but that's not why they do it." Lyric

and some derms say to go off all processed pasta (and the like) products. They compared the US population with some tribes in the Amazon (iirc) and found not one had acne breakouts. They decided it was because they don't refine their grains.

Okay, so would you be willing to go off of all processed grains to have good skin? |
