> Someone at my college has never had a glass of milk to drink and avoids milk proteins like the plague (in a somewhat literal fashion, since if he even touches milk or eats anything with milk protein in it - which can include some pretty unexpected stuff - he has to get a shot of something soon enough to prevent him from actually dying).

I would have been more inclined to think that his no milk and clear skin is just a coincidence had he not been the most extreme example I've seen of either, and less inclined to believe what I read that supported the connection had I not known him.

I've never heard that, but I know quite a few people who just don't like milk (insanity, I know) and not all of them have perfect complexions. Of course, they don't necessarily avoid all milk products. I drink a lot of milk and I've always had a decent complexion. If milk really does cause acne, it must be a very small factor among a lot of other things and the only way for it to matter would be to avoid milk and milk products altogether. Or maybe your friend's just lucky.
