Good ?: A common belief is that anyone with acne should avoid eating nuts. Research reveals this is not necessarily the case. Several studies determined that diet is not responsible for acne. The consensus, however, is that a low-glycemic diet, which consists of fresh fruits, vegetables and lean protein, works best overall for avoiding acne.

Acne and nuts: There are lots of myths around what causes acne . Research has proved that diet has nothing to do with acne format or treatment but excessive intake of certain foods can worsen acne. But general recommendations are to have balanced diet . http://www.healthyskinjournals.com/roasted-peanuts-acne-anti-blemish-diet/ http://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/acne-management/
