Youll have to excuse my tone in this article because I read a similar article
on this very web site that claimed you could eat fruit and cure your
acne. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is not the case,
and Ill tell you why.

Background to Acne

Acne is basically caused when sebum is excreted through glands in your
skin, clogs up your pores it is in these pores that bacteria multiplies
and grows. This bacteria erupts to give you acne.

What causes Sebum to be excreted through your skin?

It could be a number of things. Scientists are finally starting to
agree that it is the level of toxicity in the blood that plays a major
role in whether a person has acne or not.

If your blood is very toxic then the major organs such as the liver and
the kidneys have a tough job filtering the blood. Therefore the body
has to find another means of getting rid of them or face being put into
some kind of poisonous state.

The body therefore excretes these toxins through the skin wrapped up in
sebum, which causes the blocked pores and subsequently the acne.

So how can we reduce the toxicity of our blood?

That is a very difficult question to answer directly because it is
highly subjective. What is toxic to one person may not be toxic to the
next person. For example, person A may have toxic blood because he /
she is allergic to a certain food group whereas person B may have high
blood toxicity because of a hormonal imbalance.

So how can we figure out whats causing the toxicity?

Unfortunately there isnt a test that you can take that will tell you
for sure why your blood is highly toxic. There are main probable
causes, of which one is diet. The two most prevalent of the numerous
other possibilities include internal sugar yeast growth and hormonal
imbalances.

The only way you can really tell what is causing toxicity in your body
is by understanding all the possible causes of toxins in your body and
then doing a series of tests. By process of elimination youll be
able to figure out what it is that causes your problems.

So can apples help acne or not?

The possibility is very remote, but in theory it is possible that
eating an apple a day can have a slight effect on your acne if your
acne is caused by a vitamin / mineral deficiency in your blood and the
lack of said macronutrient is limiting your bodys ability to filter
the toxins from the blood. Please bare in mind that the likelihood of
this being the case is highly minimal.

Diet does have a big affect on acne though

Some dermatologists still believe that acne and diet are unrelated but
they are certainly wrong. There are thousands of sufferers out there
who have tied down a direct relationship between their acne and their
diet.

For instance, when I suffered from acne before I managed to cure it, I
managed to figure out that I was allergic to oats, that I dont react
well to refined sugars such as those found in cereals and that if I eat
too many oils (even if they are Essential Fatty Acids) my skin also
takes a hit.

What should I do to tackle my acne?

I was in your position before, and I tried a great variety of
prescription medicines including anti-biotics and accutane before I
finally solved my problem through natural means. Throwing mud at the
wall and hoping it sticks is not the answer.

My honest advice is to read up on the subject of what causes acne 
but make sure you choose a trusted source. Then, like I did, youll
be able to eliminate possibilities one by one until you can start to
figure out why youre toxicity is too high for your body to handle.
