    Hi. I was wondering if you could help. I am avoiding dairy because of my acne problem. This is part of the Paleo Diet I am on. It's in accordance with Loren Cordain's Ph.D. http://thepaleodiet.com/

    I wonder though about whey protein! Will that interfere with the diet? He says:
    "virtually all dairy products severely impair zinc absorption because of their high calcium concentrations, thereby leaving you at a greater risk for becoming zinc deficient. Zinc deficiency frequently occurs in acne patients and promotes one of the key elements underlying acne: inflammation.

    One serving of Whey Protein contains 91.2 mg of Calcium. If I took one of those 3/4 times a week how would that compare to regular dairy intake?

    By the way I should add that I will be supplementing my diet with 50mg of Zinc Gloconate for the next 30 days. With a reduction thereafter.

    First and foremost.......

    THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE BOARD.

    if you are taking the diet under medical advice then talk to your Doctor / Dietitian / Pharmacist
