You also have an appropriate appreciation for anecdotal evidence. It takes a true scientist to see the holes in our current scientific knowledge and see how anecdotal evidence and self-experimentation might fill those holes in. I emphasize "how" because it's much more common for someone to use anecdotal evidence inappropriately.
Maybe you'll cover this in later posts, but did you find a connection between caffeine and acne? There has been some research along with anecdotal claims that caffeine and acne are connected. |
Wow, thanks! That has got to be one of the best compliments I have ever received about my writing!
Yeah I am a big believer in anecdotal evidence...I come from the school of "do what works", not "do what
theoretically should work".
I haven't specifically studied the connection between caffeine and acne, but when I was drinking a lot of caffeine, my acne was real bad. My thesis is that essentially any food we are not well adapted to eating could lead to acne, and I would definitely put caffeine in that category.
BTW, part 4 is up and I'll put part 5 up later today.
