This isn&#x27;t all that different than today&#x27;s beauty regimes.  Talk to teenage girls and models, the toxicity now goes far deeper than makeup.<p>Acne is caused by bacteria.  You would be shocked at how many young celebs basically live on antibiotics year after year.  What that does to their immune system isn&#x27;t good, but the shock it does to their digestive systems probably helps keep the pounds off.  Clear skin is also a function of hormones, specifically estrogen.  Estrogen is found in birth control pills.  Many a young girl is on &#x27;the pill&#x27; for that benefit rather than for her reproductive health.<p>At the truly shocking end are the models that use diabetes and insulin to manipulate weight.  The poster girl for this is Halle Berry.  She is&#x2F;was a true diabetic, but it is also clear she used her insulin dependency to keep thin.  A former Mr Universe was the male face of this practice.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.diabeteshealth.com&#x2F;scrawny-boy-with-type-1-diabetes-becomes-mr-universe&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.diabeteshealth.com&#x2F;scrawny-boy-with-type-1-diabe...</a>
