Does eating honey cause acne?

September 7, 2015
Asked By:soren1997 in Denmark, SC

I eat healthy which means that I eat low glycemic foods, drinks only water, eat fruits, berries, vegetables etc. I ate some honey with my oatmeal today and I'm afraid that I will get acne, because honey contains about 80% sugar. Note* I'm on accutane.
