I have been trying the raw diet in my own rather non-rigourous way over the last couple of weeks and have got some real benefits from it. I still have a freezer full of food that needs cooking to eat and I have a few social pressures that keep me ingesting some non-raw food, but nontheless I feel it has been a success.
I have been wondering whether it might have a beneficial effect on acne? My reasoning is that I think that high blood sugar might manifest itself in the eccrine glands and this might encourage the growth of bacteria there.
You can follow my reasoning in more detail on my blog about the
effect of diet on acne if you are interested.
I don't suffer from acne myself, so I was wondering if anyone who does has tried the raw diet, and if it affected their skin? I can't find the post at the moment - but I am sure I read at least one account on here of someone who had gone raw and found no beneficial effects on his acne. Is there anyone else who can comment on this?
