Ok, so do nuts and chocolate cause pimples?
I had an anatomy teacher tell me no, and my cousin asked a doctor and he said no aswell....
I've been eating peanut butter and my mom is thinking I'm getting more pimples... I think its just and overexpression...
anyone?

From what I have read, and from experiences with my kids when they were teeagers, and talking with some doctors, Nuts and Chocolate do not cause acne.

Google the question: "What causes acne" or "Does Chocolate and nuts cause acne?" filter them out, and select a good site.

I worked for a dermatologist in high school and he said that was largely a myth....but some can break out if they have an allergy to chocolate

Obviously, the appearance of pimples for most teens - is normal.

That aside, do you consume a lot of dairy based products - i.e. milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, whey etc. ?

I personally have found that eating a lot of fats before I go to bed (peanut butter) makes me get pimples much more often than if i dont (but i have relatively clean skin)
