I realy do not think so. I have had them since I was in my 20's . Am now 55. I have hundreds of them now. Everywhere. I used to have some removed now and then but at this point I feal they have overtaken me.
I have tried a lot of diet changes. I am a vegetarian since about 5 years ago. So, that has not helped. I do drink but mostly wine. Maybe 2 glasses a night. I also drink about 2 cups of coffee a day.
I think that maybe when I go thru stress I get more of them, but not realy sure.
My Dr . says that the latest findings are that they are a genetic disorder and people who have them get more of them later in life . Well, here I am getting more and more of them.
Pretty depressing , but what can you do?? Surgery is not much of an option anymore for me as I have so many. I still have some removed when they get to big or hurt.
Yes, I've got to echo sierrasusieq. I was a vegetarian for about 7 years, but now I eat fish too. It doesn't seem to make a bit of difference, as I got them before that time (the vegetarian years), during that time, and now.
I also think I get more during stress.
I'm not excited to think about getting more as I get older, but that's been the trend since I was 13. None have gone, but plenty have appeared.

Eat less and exercise more.
Eat less and exercise more. Sounds simple enough, but in the context of real life and its demands, it can be anything but simple.hcg
