The link between any food items and acne is mostly myth. A few individuals may have a genetic link to breakouts but these are uncommon.

No, it has been shown over and over again that diet has nothing to do with development of acne. The one thing I would encourage with your diet is to really increase your water intake. This can help keep pores from plugging up.
