Here are a few quotes from that link DD posted:

"Contrary to popular belief, acne is not linked to diet; there is no scientific evidence that eating — or avoiding — specific foods will cause, or clear, breakouts. Stress and dirty skin also do not cause acne, according to NIAMS (National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases)."


"Myth: Acne is related to diet
Reality: Does chocolate really make you breakout with acne? What about oily foods? Prevailing wisdom in the dermatology community is that diet and acne are not related. Of course science is never a 100 percent reliable enterprise. But at this time, there is no evidence that chocolate, sugar, oil, milk, seafood or any other food causes acne. Some people absolutely insist that a certain food causes acne for them, or that a specific acne diet works for them. In this case, doctors sometimes recommend that they avoid that food or follow that diet. Regarding chocolate specifically, several studies have been performed, and the answer to 'does chocolate cause pimples?' is a resounding 'no.'"

Would you do a pimple cream commercial on camera if Corny asked you to?

I'd be proud to.

Luckily, l've never been cursed with acne, like others.

But l realize the devastating effect of skin blemishes on the social life of teenagers.

don't be so petty SM. you should be glad for me that I've never had acne. I delighted for you that your teeth are so awesome.

Because of this infernal skin thing of mine, I've been in a few dermatologist's offices lately. It is heart-breaking to see some of these people with visible conditions (not necessarily just acne - nor teens.) They are so withdrawn and sad

Science does not support the food/acne link. If people believe it, then they are encouraged to follow that. Sort of like a placebo effect - some people actually do get better from sugar pills during drug trials.
