Acne Vulgaris

Background In westernized societies, acne vulgaris is a nearly universal skin disease afflicting 79% to 95% of the adolescent population. In men and women older than 25 years, 40% to 54% have some degree of facial acne, and clinical facial acne persists into middle age in 12% of women and 3%...

twin studies have suggested that although sebum secretion is under genetic control, the development of clinical lesions is modified by environmental factors

Acne vulgaris: a disease of Western civilization.

BACKGROUND:

• In westernized societies, acne vulgaris is afflicting
  • 79% to 95% of the adolescent population.​
  • In men and women older than 25 years, 40% to 54% h​
  • into middle age in 12% of women and 3% of men.​

OBSERVATIONS:

• Of 1200 Kitavan subjects examined (including 300 aged 15-25 years), no case of acne (grade 1 with multiple comedones or grades 2-4) was observed. Of 115 Aché subjects examined (including 15 aged 15-25 years) over 843 days, no case of active acne (grades 1-4) was observed.

The kitavan islanders
Tubers, fruit, fish, and coconut represent the dietary mainstays in Kitava. Dietary habits are virtually uninfluenced by Western foods in most households. The intake of dairy products, alcohol, coffee, and tea was close to nil, and that of oils, margarine, cereals, sugar, and salt was negligible. Estimated carbohydrate intake was high, almost 70% of daily energy, while total fat intake was low (20% of daily energy). Virtually all of the dietary carbohydrate intake was in the form of low–glycemic load tubers, fruits, and vegetables.

The aché hunter-gatherers
The Aché diet contains wild, foraged foods, locally cultivated foods, and Western foods obtained from external sources. By energy, their diet consists of 69% cultigens, 17% wild game, 8% Western foods, 3% domestic meat, and 3% collected forest products.25,26 The cultigens consist mainly of sweet manioc, followed by peanuts, maize, and rice, whereas the Western goods are mainly pasta, flour, sugar, yerba tea, and bread.

JAMA is legit med journal.

one of the top if i'm not mistaken.

people with acne need to stop coping and fix their diet

so does it basically suggest that if you have the right diet, the amount of sebum you produce doesnt matter in regards to acne?

yes, even if you're genetically predisposed, you won't have it appear as a disease

so what specifically about the western diet do you think is the cause? sugar maybe? cant be just high carbs in general because both of those populations ate pretty damn high carb. milk too?

their diets are not high carb, because they eat low density carbs.(<20)

look at the end of the full article link i've posted.
they explain it.

it seems like acne is suboptimal metabolism.

instead of utilizing your insulin and IGF1 to grow taller and more mascular, it causes growth at the skin(hyperkeratinization?)
@crosshold the tl;dr would be to eat only low density carbs(ie, fruits and veggies), and either cut dairy(which is useful for manletism prevention), or have a low fat/high muscle body that drives igf1 to your muscles instead of skin
