Since I started eating a mostly raw vegan diet (about a month ago) my skin has improved. I can't quite define how, all I know is that it looks better than it did before! I don't have fantastic skin (thanks to stupid freckles lol) but it's definitely better!
As for the post regarding gluten intolerance, while I don't disagree with what you say, my vegan diet really doesn't include bread etc. which I've pretty much cut out completely. So while a lot of vegans may eat bread and other wheat products, I don't. I think it's all about what you choose to eat in your diet. As someone else said, eat food without a label and you can't run into too many problems
