Are Dairy foods bad for your complexion?!


Question: Hi,
I hear this from a lot of Vegans/Vegetarians, who swear that dairy used to ''clog up'' their skin.

Is it true? Just wondered. I've been an ovo lacto veggie for 10 years and I would hate to think I have damaging my body by consuming dairy products.

Should I use soya as an alternative? Help!!

Thanks,

It can. Dairy is a known acne trigger. Dairy always broke me out. Of course, I didn't realize it until I stopped eating it & went back.

I found out when i drank a glass of milk a day and a yoghurt my skin was clear as anything.
I occasionaly get the odd spot but very rarely.

I find that dairy aggravates my asthma and allergies, and I would imagine if you are sensitive to dairy or even have allergies to it, it would mess up your skin...I also have trouble digesting dairy too...a little cheese I can get away with from time to time but no more than that...so, you know yourself and if you notice bad effects from dairy then yes, eliminate from your diet!

Anything is bad for you if your body can not tolerate it. You can go to a doctor and have an allergy test done, or you can do it yourself. Just don't eat dairy for three to six weeks and see if it clears up your complexion.
I found out that I am allergic to dairy, and then I found out I am also allergic to soy! So, I have a double whammie! But I have cut those out of my diet, plus corn (another big item that I like to eat - tortilla corn chips with salsa! now it is wheat/flour tortillas (which I am not allergic to! thank goodness for that!)), and my complexion is so clear!
Don't worry about finding alternatives, or other foods to eat, cause there always seems to be something to eat!

i drink milk everyday and all i eat is meat i try not to eat bread it is to fatty im in perfect health and im sexy as hell
