Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Do you think you might like to join our Vegetarian-Epidermis discussion list? You have just asked to join Vegetarian-Epidermis, and perhaps you'd like to explore this topic just a little beforehand, before we proceed with your commitment to such a list. Unlike many lists, this list is relatively 'expert' in its focus, and merely 'dropping in' on the list (or lurking) is unlikely to yield much benefit for you, and neither extensive 'getting to know' activities nor lurking with occasional quips, questions, or other comments make much sense in the continuity of serious people's engaging in serious discussion on such topics. According to what is posted on the list's website at Vegetarian-Epidermis/, the PURPOSE of the Vegetarian-Epidermis list is for the discussion among vegetarians (only) about dermatology and skin health issues, particularly with issues such as psoriasis, acne, fungi, scars, health and scalp, flushing, dermal reactions to food(s) and drink(s), inflammatory and non-inflammatory foods, aging dynamics and foods, etc. How would you like to advance the vegetarian study of the skin, our breathing outer layer, through conversation on a discussion list devoted to the topic? Did you know that what we consume and what surrounds us makes an immense difference in the quality of our skin as we grow up, and even in later years? Did you know that foods ingested frequently by careful vegetarians may be helpful, while other foods and substances may be harmful? Would you like to discuss that with us? Have you done any reading so far which would help you contribute to this kind of discussion list? If so, would you please tell us about this reading and study and how you've learned something worth sharing with vegetarian teenagers, parents of vegetarian teenagers, vegetarians of other ages, and with healthcare professionals who work with vegetarians who are concerned with food, but also concerned de facto with their appearance and their health. When you join, now, we WILL ask you to (a) introduce yourself to the other listmembers on this list and (b) share SOME interesting information others may not have known about vegetarian diet (or culture or practices) and healthy (or even unhealthy) skin. We could cover all kinds of topics related to skin: adolescence, ethnicity and skin health, pigmentation and sunlight re: vitamin D production from sterols in the skin, angles of the sunlight in different parts of the planet and how recommendations re: sunlight may be different in different climates and latitudes, habits of various differing groups of vegetarians and which lead towards health and which lead away from healthy skin (e.g. water consumption, etc.), genetic and behavioral aspects of healthy skin, and much more.
