STRESS CAN TRIGGER SUGAR CRAVINGS IN FOOD INSECURITY-PRONE IMMIGRANTS, WHICH LEADS TO EATING ONE'S FEELINGS WITH HIGH-GLYCEMIC INDEX LOAD DESSERTS, INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE FOOD INSECURITY.

THEN, THE HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP OF THE CANNED, ASIAN FRUITS, SUCH AS LOGANS, CAN CAUSE CORTISOL, AND INSULIN TO OVERPRODUCE, LEADING TO HORMONAL IMBALANCES. OVERTIME, THIS UNRESOVED STRESS CAUSES DIABETES, NOT JUST HORMONAL, ACNE BREAKOUTS.

THERE IS A GRAIN OF TRUTH TO THE LOGAN FRUIT CONNECTION TO ACNE, BUT ONLY IN THE SENSE THAT IT INVOLVES EATING HIGH-GLYCEMIC INDEX LOAD FRUITS, PERHAPS AS AN UNHEALTHY WAY TO COPE WITH STRESS, POST-SECONDARY PTSD, FROM BEING A REFUGEE, AND FOOD INSECURITY.
