Prologue: Why am I writing this? Because I have been dealing with skin issues for a majority of my life, before filtering all that bullshit that has been fed to me by the liars, con-men, and ignoramuses of this world, and I think people deserve to know some truth. Most skin situations can be managed and cured with little to no treatment. Wowzers? I know.

Let’s Begin:
So, with all the chemicals, washes, peels, vitamins, and acne treatments, you would think that people would have better results, but they don’t.
Why Is that? Maybe because like everything else in this world, someone is trying to sell you crap you don’t need, which usually ends up exacerbating the situation.
DIET? If your body was a vehicle, the oils and gases you put into it, would dictate how well that machine worked. So, the joke was always that chocolate causes pimples, but what they didn’t want to tell us, was the real culprit was what made the chocolate sweet.
A REFINED COMPOUND, that is completely saturated in the PROCESSED FOOD market and IMO, the leading cause of all CANCERS, sickness, and disease. Wow, that is a big statement, but I’m going to live by it.
The magic BULLET is SUGAR. You eliminate that sugar, the bacteria that normally exists on your skin will not gorge itself with that sugary treat and elicit an immune response that will cause excess inflammation and WHITE BLOOD CELL pimples. (Consider processed white bread as straight sugar as well.)
Like anything, in moderation, sugar is okay, but the levels of sugar intake in this society by the uninformed, has diabetes and obesity skyrocketing. Funny enough, those are only the most obvious ills of sugar saturation, but trust, when I say, it is a DRUG that flies under the radar.
Simple sugars that are complex, take longer to digest, giving a more even disbursement of the mitochondria fuel. After all, aerobic respiration drives the cells, which gives us life. “Nutrients commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include glucose, amino acids and fatty acids, and a common oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) is molecular oxygen (O2)”
Quickly: I also eliminated Caffeine from my diet, which is a stimulant to think about leaving behind. SODA POP and morning COFFEES. (Sugar and Caffeine COMBO) And a balanced person has plenty of energy to wake up in the morning. You don't need all these drugs to jump start you, even though you have been conditioned to think so.
UPDATE: Honey with green tea or coffee seems to work for me with no real problems.
WOW! You can’t believe it. Why wouldn’t anyone talk about this truth? Maybe because sick people are easier to milk for money.
Moving on:
The oil your skin produces is a natural and wonderful home grown product.
Your skin PH levels actually protect you, so adding complex chemicals to the mix probably isn’t the best bet. Your skin has a naturally, salty ph, which is acid and delays bacterial growth. Hmmmm.
So, what happens when you wash your face? Does it destroy the natural oils and ph lvl?

If it works, why no images of somebody (you?) who gained "perfect skin" by following this regime?
Sugar has almost none of the bad effects you claim.
It does not cause cancer, it does not cause spots (the bacteria in spots are living off the sebum (natural greases) of your skin. Your skin cannot excrete sugar).
You cannot safely eliminate sugar from your diet - honey is largely sugar (with a little water), all fruits contain large amounts of sugar (that's why fruit is sweet).
There are only three health issues that are genuinely associated with excess sugar in the diet:
> Tooth decay (so, brush your teeth)
> Weight gain (so, exercise)
> Issues with some forms of diabetes.
Teen skin issues are not caused by excess sugar, but by the naturally-occurring increase in sebum production associated with the changing hormones of puberty. Washing your face is about the best thing you can do for that.
Your skin is "perfect" now? Good for you. That's what happens when you grow up, get through puberty and sebum production settles down.
So, what we have here are some completely unfounded claims, some industrial-grade libel and some genuinely dangerous "advise" about germs.
Not good.
The author now claims to be an ex-teacher (but he doesn't say of what), and classifies himself by an inherently-flawed personality-profiling system, as if that somehow makes him automatically right.
Newsflash; there are different kinds of microbe, and they have different biochemistries. Microbes in your mouth feed on sugar. The completely different microbes on your skin feed on the greases excreted by your skin.
But, what would I know? I'm only a Science teacher, I've only been involved in Science for longer than you've been alive. The facts are, it seems, that I've wasted my life - all I needed to do was dream up a bunch of woowoo, shout about it and shout libellous insults at anybody that dares to disagree with me, and immediately the whole of reality will reorganise itself to make me correct! You, sir, are a genius!
News flash: your understanding of the biochemistry of microbes is limited, as you do realize that proteins, sugars, and fats can be metabolized only by being converted into sugars.
"Excess fatty acids, glucose, and other nutrients can be stored efficiently as fat. Triglycerides yield more than twice as much energy for the same mass as do carbohydrates or proteins. All cell membranes are built up of phospholipids, each of which contains two fatty acids. Fatty acids are also used for protein modification. The metabolism of fatty acids, therefore, consists of catabolic processes that generate energy and primary metabolites from fatty acids, and anabolic processes that create biologically important molecules from fatty acids and other dietary carbon sources."
Again, it isn't about me pointing out your deficiencies as a teacher. I'm just trying to teach you. Excess energy in a system has to be consumed by something, so by you understanding the conversion of sugars into fats and others excretions, you might better wrap your head around my understanding that you obviously lack.
I apologize for being right, but that is the world we live in. No one likes to be told they are wrong.
I have no idea what an "ENTJ" is to you*, or what you were a teacher of, but being able to copy-paste a single paragraph from wikipedia does not make you an expert.
Quite the opposite, in fact, since you didn't bother to read down to the section that describes the metabolic pathways associated with fats, most especially the part that describes the way fats are metabolised for energy without being converted to sugars on the way.
If you're going to try and cover up your errors with long, googled words that you don't understand, please, don't try it when you're up against a genuine teacher, with a track record of excellence and success.
But, this isn't about me pointing out the deficiencies in your academic rigour or general honesty, it's about correcting your mistakes and pointing you towards personal progression, as any genuine teacher does.
*(in the UK, the abbreviation is only used in the much-criticised MBTI personality profiling)
By the way, I would also appreciate it if you did not libel an entire profession by besmirching it with your own failings. Why you are already a "former teacher" at such a young age is between you and your ex-employer, not an indicator of the capability of your colleagues who are more able to stay the course.
Rather than posting such long rambling posts, how about addressing the main point that you were wrong to claim that fats are metabolised into sugars before they are used for energy, and that you are too afraid of being wrong to notice that the copy pasta you tried to use to prove you are right, actually proved you to be wrong.
As for that rubbish about copy pasta being an important part of teaching, I think that gives us an insight into the reason you are a former teacher.
Now, to reiterate:
You do not excrete sugars through your skin.
Skin microbes do not subsist on sugar.
It is dangerous to remove sugar from your diet.
The vast majority of cancers are not linked to, or caused by, sugars. A small numbers of colonic cancers have been linked, with poor statistical strength, to glucose consumption in a small number if people who already have a pr
Oops, that's what happens when you type on a tiny screen.
Anyhoo, you're clearly an obsessive, who only sees what he wants to see, and cannot respond to reasoned argument and clear evidence with anything except ad hominem rants and broad-stroke libellous statements.
I can only hope you did not assault the fragile young minds in your [alleged] brief stint as a teacher in the same manner you have been attempting to beat me down.
You, sir, are a troll of the first water.
You may have the last word, as a sop to your ego, but this is the last feed you get from me.
That's the only point I disagree on in here. Don't put soap on your face, and rinse your shampoo out so that it doesn't touch your face. Find a gentle cleanser with no soap, artificial scents or colours in it. The one I use won't be available to you over in the US, but finding it made a huge difference for me.
