do pop and chocolate and some other things really make your acne break out

Unless you are washing your face with it, it does not affect whether or not you will break out. If you are really concerned, buy ProActiv. Until then, wash your face regularly with a face wash made specifically for acne. Look for things that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Don't worry about what you eat, it's a myth.

I think they do but not directly. When you ingest foods with high sugar content like pop, chocolate and other candy you throw off the balance of body's systems. If the chemical balance of your body is off, you may sweat more which can lead to clogged pores and then acne breakouts. Also the amount of sugar can make you more hyper and if you aren't paying attention you may not be taking as much care with your skin as you should therefore again you're leaving residue on the skin to clog pores and so on...
Hope this helps

this is a myth, maybe some women are prone to eating sweet around the same time they are getting their periods, and breaking out, but they are not related.
.............Myth number #2. Acne is caused by what you eat
Acne is caused by over production of sebum (oil) and obstruction of the pores. The amount of sebum produced by the skin is regulated by hormones only, not food. This includes chocolate, greasy food, soda, and fast foods. These foods do not have any effect on the hormones that regulate sebum production.

No. Two things contribute to acne: the cleanliness of your skin and hormonal changes. When I ways in high school, I was a regular pizza face - in fact on my chest and back, too. Antibiotics help with somewhat. See your dermatologist for the real dope.

Yes, very true. I can get breakouts from too much chocolate and I am not a teenager any longer.
