Dairy And Acne: Another Acne Myth?

Diet has been studied intensely to make connections between food items and the occurrence of acne. There is new evidence that suggests a direct relationship between dairy and acne. There is a lot of money in the dairy industry and so this information is not real common.

This could mean the loss of millions of dollars and so it will be fought like the introduction of the food pyramid, replacing the old four foods groups that left you with the impression, consciously or not, that 50% of your diet should be made up of animal products. Do you know who provided the four food group concept to Americans? Would it surprise you if I told you it was the meat and dairy industry.

Did you ever get a chance to see the illustration of two nurses with mops in a room that appears to be flooding with water? Soon you will see the skin on the back wall with the faucet open and water overflowing and flooding the floor. The illustration is simple and perhaps funny but the principle, when understood, is life changing.

This truth is taught with many illustrations, another one being that of laying the axe to the root to stop a plant from growing instead of just chopping it down only to find that the sprouts continue to come up.

Dr. A thirty year dermatologist named Dr. Danby has shown the direct correlation between dairy and acne.

Selling dairy is a business and the more they can sell the better despite the ways they increase milk production. For an increase in milk production cows are artificially inseminated to keep them pregnant and producing milk. At birth, the calf is taken away so the cow’s milk can be gathered and sold for human consumption.

In milk there are a number of unhealthful ingredients but that which is most detrimental to acne and pimples are the hormones. The hormones that are in the mama cow’s milk is for the baby cow to grow fast. These hormones mimic testosterone, which has been proven to overstimulate the sebaceous glands into secreting more sebum than is needed causing more acne.

The problem is that the excess sebum cannot leave the pores and in combination with dead skin cells the pore clogs. It is in this pore that has been clogged by sebum and dead skin cells that the propionibacterium acnes bacteria multiply. The presence of these bacteria attract white blood cells that inadvertently damage the follicle lining allowing the pus to travel to the epidermis causing a pimple or zit.

All dairy products including milk, cheeses, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream and those baked into prepared foods should be avoided for a minimum of 30 days to determine if the change offers benefits to your skin.

The terms “Hormone Free” and “Organic” do not mean that the naturally occurring hormones in cow’s milk that induce acne are absent.

It may seem like a huge change to remove dairy from your diet but it is not uncommon today and you can find lots of information online guiding you through the process. There are a lot of great recipes without dairy. This is to improve your skin so don’t let this stand in your way.
