Because acne is a wide-spread problem in today’s world. As you stand in front of your mirror, staring at an outbreak of pimples it may feel like you are the only one in the world to have it so bad. Especially if it is the night before your prom, big date or wedding.

But, you know that are not alone.

As many as 9 out of 10 adolescents and almost 3 out of every ten adults will get acne at some time. Acne affects both males and females in almost every country on earth.

But if you look a little closer at the facts some startling trends start to appear.

For example, many studies have found that people eating their traditional native diets — low-fat, high-starch, based heavily on fresh fruits and vegetables — have little or no acne problems.

However when these same healthy people start eating a traditional Western diet of meats and processed food, acne suddenly appears. This should not be a shock — so do all of the other “diseases” of modern western civilization, like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, prostate cancer and breast cancer.

So much for progress.

Does this mean that chocolate and French Fries cause acne?

Yes and no.

It is believed that, although individual foods do not directly cause acne, your overall diet does play a role. In fact, your lifestyle and diet may do more in bringing on acne and other skin problems than any other preventable factor.

The modern western diet, especially that enjoyed by teenagers, seems to have been specially designed to cause pimples.

So any at home acne treatment MUST start with a whole body approach.

After all, remember what we all learned in grade school — “You are what you eat!”
