The rest don't know that the protein molecule is sooo big it damages your intestinal villi as it tries to get through. Your skin is an organ for elimination of toxins when other systems are overloaded. Meat is just as full of junk from contaminated feed. Honestly, read "skinny bitch". Read "eat to live". There is more useable calcium in a cup of collard greens than a cup of milk plus phytochemicals to fight cancer and clean your liver. Get a clue!

I read that it's best to drink organic milk though as what you mentioned is true - we need the calcium and won't eat enough vegetables. The alternative is to take a supplement.

But not *all* Asians. Yes, you can find calcium in leafy green vegetables like spinach, but if you do the math, you have to eat a crazy amount more to get the same calcium content that you can get from milk. My advice would be to drink milk if you can. If you are indeed lactose intolerant, then make sure you can substitute the calcium intake. This is especially important for Asian women as they are 3 times or so more prone to developing osteoporosis. There hasn't been a clear link made, but I suspect it has something to do with the low calcium diet we've adopted as a result of our predisposition to lactose intolerance.

Or try a calcium supplement. Your issues sound like a hormonal imbalance cos you're at the age where hormones can wreak havoc on skin. Try increasing your intake of fibre and probiotics. It helped with mine. See my entry here: http://www.vivawoman.net/2010/04/22/fibre-and-probiotics-for-acne-free-skin/ Vegetables can give you calcium too. Or try a calcium supplement.

I suffer from acne and for the past month have been desparately trying to cure my horrible acne. I have cut out most processed foods, dairy, wheat, red meat, potatoes, corn, starches, etc. I basically eat a lot of fruit, vegatables, oatmeal, and chicken because i am so hungry all the time! My mom has been bugging me and cheer is starting up soon about my lack of dairy. She is going to make me drink milk:( I haven't seen an improvment really on either my back or my face but these could have been caused by other things. I dont know what to do... I need my calcium so i don't injure myself and other nutrients in milk. Is yogurt bad too? Would it be better than milk? Is there any substitutions like soy milk that are fine??? Help!
