So there's a lot of people online who get nasty cystic acne from eating citrus fruits - I'm one of them.
I first noticed this when I used to chug lemon juice and water back in my paleo days, I cut out all citrus and my skin is nice and clear. Everytime I test the theory with OJ, lemon or mandarin I start to breakout.
I've tried straining the pulp through a clean cloth and the result stays the same. I can get away with a small amount of lemon juice as seasoning but drinking a whole cup of OJ is a no go.
I feel fine when drinking it and the only problem I find is the acne. I really love the taste of citrus and I can get a 3kg bag of organic navel oranges for $2.50! Plus I'm missing out on the benefits of naringenin, so I really want it to work.
If you have any suggestions or experience the same thing, I'm all ears. Cheers
