I have heard that milk and other dairy products contain a hormone that causes acne. It this true? A. There is no evidence that milk contains such a hormone. Acne is caused primarily by hyperactive oil glands in the skin. The glands oversecrete and become plugged, producing acne.

Acne is not caused by an improper diet, although the condition, once established, may worsen with a poor diet. OYSTERS AND MONTHS Q. What is the basis for the belief that oysters should be eaten only in months with an A. There is no basis for this belief. In fact, the Federal Government is currently running an informational campaign to debunk the myth that oysters become gritty and less tasty from May through August.

If you like oysters you'd better eat all you can get these days, because the quantity and quality of oysters are declining rapidly. Send questions to Science Editors, Inc. P.O. Box 1174, Louisville 1, Ky. It's wise to have family physician.
