According to an article in today's NY Times, the latest thinking on acne is that most dietary choices do not cause acne: "... chocolate and greasy foods were not [associated with outbreaks]."
So much for Mom telling you to lay off the M&Ms and french fries.
I once heard a plausible explanation for this apparent correlation -- you touch your face with your greasy fingers, pores get blocked, blackhead city.
But the real money quote from this story calls attention to two truly evil substances, foisted onto abused children nationwide: "Skim milk had the greatest effect. ... cottage cheese [was] also associated with outbreaks."
Told ya.

Should we tell all the kids we know? (Nyuk,nyuk,nyuk) :)
Yes, yes! By all means, think of the children!
