2. What is the best way of eating for those with acne?

Because of the fact that eating breads, cereals and pasta can lead to high insulin levels - since they cause excess sugar production in the body - and high insulin levels can lead to acne - see reason here (fruit and acne page).
It would be best to avoid all grain sources if you are prone to acne.

Dr Mercola says: "You can keep your insulin levels healthy by reducing or eliminating grains and sugars from your diet."

So the best acne nutrition would be a clean diet. Free from white cane sugar and grains, high in fresh fruits and vegetables with a low amount of healthy fat that can be found in nuts or avocados.
