Prevent Acne With Fish Oil -- A Fish Tale?

An Online Guide to Acne Articles: Use Essential Fatty Acid To Help You Prevent or Eliminate Your Acne:
"Getting sufficient essential fatty acids is of prime importance in clearing acne. It’s these fatty acids that help to control the production of excess androgens – the hormones that surge during the teen-age times It is androgens, which causes excess sebum oil to clog your hair follicle and contribute to creating your acne.

The three fatty acids you need to get daily are:
-omega-3
-omega-6
-omega-9"

MY REACTION:

I hate the taste of fish, so that inevitably must mean that it is good for me. I don't know if it is good for acne, but there is a huge amount of other health benefits to justify taking another pill or 2. And, who knows, maybe it will help acne too.
