A member asked:

I've been eating a lot of sugary foods and it's causing me to break out. what foods can i eat to help clear my skin and help keep it that way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drink water: As you have discovered, sugary foods (and sugary drinks like sodas and juices) are not the best things for the skin. You can improve your complexion by drinking more water. Nothing cleanses the body and skin like water.
