Good news... and bad news.

Good news: It appears that chocolate doesn't give you pimples.

Bad news: Sugary foods - those with high Glycemic Indices - might.

So if you want to avoid pimples, you might rethink that doughnut-filled white-bread sandwich with potato chip-parsnip-watermelon salad on the side.
