Diet: Foods that can cause pimples

There is no proof that certain foods give you pimples. However, there is evidence to suggest that a nutritious diet can give you healthier looking skin. Plus, some people report that cutting down on processed foods helps to reduce pimples.
While no foods have been proven to cause pimples directly, there are foods that make you break out.
“Does chocolate give you pimples?” is a common question and recent studies suggest that it’s the sugar, not the cocoa, in chocolate that’s to blame for break outs. While no foods have been proven to cause pimples directly, there are foods that make you break out.
Sugary and processed foods with a high glycaemic load set off a chain-reaction that might be responsible for an acne breakout.
Foods that can cause break outs include:
1. Fried chips
2. Crackers
3. Pastries and Cookies
4. White bread
5. Pasta
6. Soft drinks
7. Juices
When you eat these foods, your blood sugar, and in turn your insulin levels, spike.
Insulin causes your sebaceous glands to produce more oil. This often contributes to clogged pores and pimples.
