Ignore that stuff: By its nature, epidemiology generates junk data, which is then picked up by entertainment websites that appeal to people who want food choice guidance. Instead of wasting your time with this stuff, you need to manage your acne like an adult -- topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid and/or salicylic acid, and if not clear suplement with your physician's prescription-strength Rx.
