Dear Ivy,
Thanks for this invaluable piece of information. I have always found myself breaking out after consuming cheese and suspect that I have an allergic acne inducing reaction to cheese. Now I can be even more sure that dairy products can cause an acne attack.

(Yep, we share the same name) =) Love reading this blog. A fan from Sunny Singapore!

Dear Ivy, I love it when people make good use of my articles! Make sure you stay away from dairy and you should be fine.
On another note, it must be great to have sunny days this time of year - its rain and snow all the way through here. I wish I could travel somewhere nice and warm!

That sounds really stupid, milk is good for you. Are you a doctor? No! I thought this blog looked cool but now I see that whoever writes it has no clue what she is talking about, and telling people not to drink milk is retarded, especially when you try to preach good health. What an awful blog!

Anonymous, I'm really sorry you missed the sentence where I quote a legit research which proves that milk and acne are in fact associated. I am not sure if you slept for a century or two, but milk has some real issues related to it nowadays.

I'm also sorry to hear that you don't have good taste either and do not like my blog, but please feel free to stop reading it if you feel like it. Also, do leave a name next time, I feel silly talking to a stranger.

I've never had acne but ever since I was a young adult I've always had little white bumps on my chin. Nothing visible unless you were looking at me through a magnifying glass, but the wazy, sebum-things that I could notice. One time, years ago, I got a facial and asked the esthetician about them. Her advice? Stop eating cheese. I didn't - and they never went away. ProActiv seems to be the only thing that works to get rid of them, but I am always looking for something else since that tends to overdry my skin. Anyway, I don't eat a lot of cheese, but I do have skim milk every day in my coffee, yogurt at least 3 days/week for breakfast, and the occasional cheese indulgence if there is wine around. Alls to say that I do believe this theory but enjoy dairy too much to care.

What a bunch of crap! I have been a drinker of milk all my life and I don't have acne, I am not fat, I don't have bad gas (except when I eat too many vegetables!). Milk is good for you, drink up!

I totally agree with what you say about milk...recently I read an article about milk, it was suggesting that milk was associated with breast cancer in women in america and it goes on to suggest that the reason why there is a low rate of breast cancer in china is due to the fact they do not have cows milk in their diet at all...it sure is something worth knowing and sharing!!

Andrea, there are studies which support this thesis, so please don't be so harsh! All I can say is that you are a very lucky gal, most of us need all the help we can get to keep us beautiful.

Oh boy.
first of all
"drinking milk and eating dairy you risk having osteoporosis, cancer, gas and other scary disease. "

...osteoporosis ? How funny, and here all my life ive only ever been told my docotors to drink milk to help prevent the on-set of osteoporosis later in life.

and in reply to this

I highly doubt the lack of milk accounts for their lower breast cancer rates, id be willing to guess their cancer rates over all are lower because of the fact that tea is such a staple in their diets. Tea is rich in anti oxidants which break down free radicals that cause cancer in the first place.

For all those who say it's not the milk: Yes, it IS the milk. I suffered thru many years of constant headaches, and mild/minor problems with my skin pores getting clogged up. Went without milk for two weeks while I was on vacation. guess what - no more headaches. Hmmm...

So I had some more milk. Got a headache a few hours later. Tried it again. No milk / no headache. Milk? Headache. Since I stopped drinking milk, and eating ice cream and butter and sour cream I am no longer plagued with the awful headaches I had for many years.

And my skin? Well, I ain't no beauty, but it sure is nice not having little bumps all over my body.

Milk = headaches and bumps.
No milk = no problems.

Note: I asked my doctor about the headaches. She said there is an acid in milk that causes some people to get headaches.

Wasn't milk the thing that helped us get rid of all the problems ? i guess acne problems need to be investigated a little bit more.

The research results are not full proofed. I know two girls totally allergic on milk but, also with face acne. I don't trust these results.

Most of the time blogs don't carry alot of information and just made for time pass. But I think your blog is the one where I have learned many things with your practicles and experiences. Thanks

I used to have fairly bad adult acne and I read about the milk so I switched to Soy Milk and it wokred. My acne has mostly disappeared. This is actual factual info.
