Does chocolate cause acne? Possibly the most frequently asked question of the 20th century and continuing!
Does eating chocolate really cause acne? This is the big question that almost everyone asks about acne and has been widely discussed for many years. There's hardly anyone who doesn't like chocolate, which is why we've always wanted to know whether or not it can actually cause acne. I'm sure you've heard at least one person or more say that chocolate can cause acne. Well, there are a lot of people who believe this myth and actually try to stay away from chocolate and you're probably not sure if it's true or not, otherwise...

Does eating chocolate really cause acne? This is the big question that almost everyone asks about acne and has been widely discussed for many years. There's hardly anyone who doesn't like chocolate, which is why we've always wanted to know whether or not it can actually cause acne. I'm sure you've heard at least one person or more say that chocolate can cause acne. Well, there are a lot of people who believe this myth and actually try to stay away from chocolate, and you're probably not sure if it's true or not, otherwise you'd probably be eating a bar yourself while reading this article.
Well, there are actually two answers to that, the shorter answer is “no” and the longer answer is “actually not, chocolate doesn’t cause acne”. Are you more confused? I think that probably doesn't explain much, so I'll give you a little more detail about the causes of acne so you can understand it. The sebaceous gland under the skin produces an oil called sebum that travels up the hair follicles, removes dead cells and then moisturizes the skin. Acne begins when sebum oil becomes trapped under the skin. This can be caused by various reasons such as top of the skin.
So chocolate alone cannot cause acne, but a poor diet can cause acne. Too much fat, too much sugar, and other foods that can affect your individual hormone production can affect your sebum production, which can lead to acne. So basically, chocolate really doesn't cause acne, but your entire diet can. Chocolate can be part of either a healthy diet or an unhealthy diet, it all depends on you and the amount of fatty/oily foods.
You'll probably hear personal stories over and over again from all sorts of people claiming that some of their acne problems are actually related to chocolate in one way or another, when in fact it's probably not caused by the chocolate itself, but by their overall diet in general, or it could possibly be their genetics, or the acne could even be the result of an allergic reaction to chocolate, which would be really bad because almost everyone loves chocolate.
