A member asked:
Does omega 3 fatty acid supplements helps prevents acne for people taking vegetarian diet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The last three real human studies of omega-threes for atherosclerosis / lipid problems showed no benefit. The vegetarian / natural foods people write about this-and-that benefiting this-and-that without needing any real basis, and there's an anecdotal peer-reviewed article, but nothing solid. Acne's treatable by 21st century medicine and if you need us mainstream physicians, we're here for you.
