What diet is best for preventing acne?

Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:No specific diet is known to prevent acne. Many people believe that certain foods and beverages, such as chocolate and cola, cause their skin to break out. However, there is no scientific proof that what you eat has any effect on acne. On the other hand, doctors generally agree that individual people might be sensitive to specific foods. If you think a certain dish causes your skin to break out, try avoiding it. Overall, the best diet for your skin is one that's balanced and nutritious. Your doctor can help guide you in making good food choices.No specific diet is known to prevent acne.
