Does drinking soda pop and eating chocolate cause acne?

No, drinking carbonated drinks, candy, or anything with oil or sugar do not cause acne at all. This is a common myth, and has been proven wrong many times.\n\nPeople have different hormonal balances that cause people to have breakouts different than other people. There are probably some people who consume large amounts of these sugared treats and probably don't even have a trace of a zit.

Acne is connected w/ food that we eat... Fatty foods is "NO" to avoid having acne. Lot of fluid intake is also a must to do. Wash fash w/ mild facial soap or any facial solution. Avoid too much make-up and make sure that you don't sleep w/o washing it off. \n\npopping acne is also not a good idea to do... you will only damage your skin more by doing so... Eat more fruits and more VIT E supplements daily. Sleep early at least 8 hrs/day.\n\navoid smoking and alcohol...

First, you need to cut back on the soda and start substituting with water!  I'm not saying NO soda, but water is all that you need to keep your blood flow going more efficiently, helping the skin glow and become moisturized. Second, you need lotion.  Don't be afraid to get a big bottle, you should put one coat on right when you wake up and one before you go to bed.  Hopefully soon, within 2-5 months,  your skin should be glowing bright and healthy!

It's actualy sort of a myth that particular foods cause pimples - it is hormones.  Food doesn't cause it, so you can eat what you want: http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20050412.html

Zinc!  I've heard zinc supplements can help with acne.

No. Smoking causes cancer, not acne. Acne is caused by a hormone imbalance as a teen, or as an adult, by improper cleansing of the face to remove makeup, dirt & grime or smog.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to nutritionally prevent acne.  This means whole grains (not white bread and french fries), lots of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins (choose fish and chicken over steaks and hamburgers) and lean dairy products (skim milk and unsweetened yogurt).  Science has not proven a link between greasy foods and acne, but if the oil from the food comes into contact with your face it can lead to breakouts.\n\nThere is no way to delay the onset of acne, but once it appears you should begin with topical (surface) remedies.  Wash your face morning and night.  Avoid wearing foundation, concealer, powder and blush (especially that contain oil).  Exfoliate weekly and use a deep-cleansing mask weekly.\n\nIf your acne is particularly bad or causes you extreme embarassment, ask your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist to discuss Accutane, a prescription drug in pill form that stops your oil glands from producing oil.  This drug is commonly prescribed to teens but has many side effects, so you need to discuss it with your parents and the dermatologist (as well as take regular blood and pregnancy tests while taking it).

Is this a real question?  :-)  2 break outs is nothing to worry about.  Drink more water to flush toxins out of your system and you probably wouldn't have any problems.

Most children and adults don't get much acne because their skin can handle the level of oil generated by glands.  During puberty, however, these glands start producing adult levels of oil which can overwhelm a teenager's young skin. The result is an oily surface which can trap dirt and clog pores.\n\nIf the pores stay clogged long enough and bacteria manages to grow, the resulting infection is what we'd consider acne.\nThe red pustules are formed in the pores and come to a head at skin level.  If the pore is relatively clean, the head is whitish.  If dirt gets inside, the result is called a blackhead.\n\nStandard acne treatments involve applying a chemical like benzoyl peroxide to kill off the bacteria and allow the pustules to dry up.  Eventually the skin become accustom to the adult level of oil and the pores stop becoming irritated as often.  Keeping your face clean with soap and water helps, but acne is not always triggered by poor hygiene, chocolate or greasy food.

No because Semen(sperm) is a bodily fluid, such as sweat, etc., therefore it does not have any ties whatsoever to cannibalism.. although, might I mention that females (my personal preference) that take up the hobby of swallowing semen coincidentally do not have an acne problem.. Semen is the only natural occuring fluid that is RICH in VITAMIN E.  Vitamin E is an excellent source of treating dry skin, acne, and other discrepancies that I cant friggin think of right now..

Acne may be due to an improper mineral balance in your gut. If your gut is telling you to try Zinc, why not listen to it? Taking 50 mg's of Zinc each as a supplement could help with your acne. You might take a copper and calcium supplement as well. Avoid all dairy and wheat products. Avoid shampoo with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE. Drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water. Change your table salt to sea salt. Stick with it and expect wonderful results.

Acne is partly hormonal partly bacterial.  Blame McDonalds.  The current generation of teens and young adults were raised on that greasy crap and of course the amounts of sat fats and trans fats floating thru your system will eventually cause your normal body functions to change.  Your body cannot process all those greasy fats fast enough so they build up in your system which turns into a bacterial infection leading to acne.  Same reason so many young adults already have high cholesterol problems as well.  Many have cholesterol numbers of 40 and 50 year olds.

Foods that contain iodine can be a cause of acne. These foods include all "shell fish" i.e.  clams,scallops,lobsters,oysters,etc.  Also check out what other foods are high in iodine!!!

Here are several things that are inexpensive:\n1. check your diet. What goes into the body comes out onto the skin. Like drinking lots of caffeine will cause you to get sun burn easier. If you are eating alot of fatty foods, and processed foods, that will come out on your skin as you sweat. The fats cause your pores to clog and thus you get acne as your body reacts to what you are eating. Sugar does the same thing, clogs the pores.\n2. clean your face with simple soaps, such as Doctor Bronner's.\n3. after you wash your face balance the chemistry of your skin by using a toner. generally something that has a vinegar base. check out the Burts Bee's web site. \n4. put a moisturizer on your face after. something without wax in it as this will clog your pores. Again check out Burts Bee's web site, or try Lubriderm.\n5. drink plenty of water!\n6. Exercise!\n7. Be sure to wash your face, not scrub it. That will cause your body to produce more oils. Good Luck!

Nope, but you will start enjoying c o c k...Just kidding. Food will not determine the texture of your skin dear. Some may help to produce acne that's all....

No not at all. You get them but not drinking enough water, stress, if you get them easily wash your face after every meal or more, and not eating right.\nMasturbating does not cause pimples. Masturbation is a perfectly healthy activity, for girls and guys, for women and men. Some people may worry that masturbation is harmful because they've heard myths or stories — but they are not true. In fact, masturbation is one of the body's most effective ways to relieve stress.\n\nMost guys notice changes in their body, like facial hair growth and ejaculation, between the ages of 10-12. Most often the changes are complete by the age of 20. These changes are a part of puberty.\n\nPuberty is a time when hormones stimulate change in all parts of the body. Both guys' and girls' sweat glands will produce greater amounts of sweat and oil glands will produce greater amounts of oil. As a result, acne — pimples on the face and other parts of the body caused by bacteria and trapped oil — may appear.\n\nThe hormonal changes of puberty that cause acne also cause a greater interest in sex. At puberty, young men and women begin to have more sexual thoughts. Masturbation may be a teen's first sexual activity. It is important to remember that although increased masturbation may occur at a time when acne develops, masturbation does not make acne happen.\n\nAnd remember — there isn't a set amount of time that means a person is masturbating too much. Some people masturbate every day (sometimes more than once) while others do it twice a month. Some people don't masturbate at all. Every person is different
