I found this great study linking acne to diet. More specifically, foods that spike insulin levels can increase your androgens (male-like hormones) and trigger acne. Terms that are synonymous to high insulin levels include: high carb diet, refined sugar, glycemic load, glycemic index, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, syndrome X, and hyperinsulinemia. If you can make it through the scientific jargon - this article is well worth the read!!! 916 sells glycemic index reference books small enough to put in your purse or glove compartment for just $7.50 a pop.
