The glycemic index plays a major role when it comes to acne according to many sources around the web. If you don't know what the glycemic index is, it measures the effects of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels.
The higher a food is in the glycemic index, the more likely of a chance that it will cause acne.
According to AbSolute Acne Info and South Beach diet,

Does GI Index play a role in acne?
I can't truly say that I know. However, I do find it interesting that the healthier foods have a lower GI Index.
