✗ The myth everyone repeats
Eating too many peanuts or peanut butter will cause or worsen acne breakouts.
✓ What is actually true
Scientific studies have found no conclusive evidence that peanuts cause acne. Acne is primarily caused by hormones, bacteria, and oil production. While high-glycemic foods may correlate with acne in some individuals, peanuts are low-glycemic and nutrient-rich. The myth may persist because peanuts are high in fat, but dietary fat doesn't directly cause acne.
