| Hearing way too much from customers at the Lancome counter
We've all encountered an audience whore. You know exactly who I mean: the same insatiable, bleached-out single mom who haunts the aisles of every corner store, hanging on any opportunity to spill her guts to some unsuspecting passerby. You can find her in long lines at the grocery store or at your local PTO meeting amid a conglomeration of her cultish peers.
In my case, those audience whores tend to find me while I'm on the job. They're an inevitable blip on the screen, something you dodge around corners to escape but collide with twice as hard as a result. I would never doubt that the earth trembles with every movement of the past, but if you were to imagine humanity as this skin under which a myriad of stories lies latent, these people would be the acne -- oozing, inflamed with their own legends.

Does diet affect acne?
Here's a question to ponder: Why is acne common in the Western, industrialized world, while the pimples that plague American kids are rare in developing countries? It's a puzzler — and one that prompted Australian researchers to ask whether changing the diet of teenagers would have any effect on acne. The results could change the way dermatologists think about diet. To test their theory, the Australian researchers recruited 50 young men between the ages of 15 and 25 with mild-to-moderate acne. They split the volunteers into two groups: One group was instructed to eat a diet of lean meat, poultry and fish, along with fruits and vegetables. They replaced foods such as white bread and highly processed breakfast cereals with whole grains. Meanwhile, the other group ate a typical Western diet.
