Many teens love to eat chocolate. However, studies show that eating dark chocolate or chocolate called could well exacerbate acne in people who have sensitive skin and prone to acne.

Until now it was clear that high carbohydrate intake leads to increased symptoms of acne through the fast emergence of new pimples on the face, shoulders and back. It was thought that pure dark chocolate, however, would not negatively affect people with sensitive skin, it turns out, however, that it is more dangerous than normal chocolate hair as the appearance of acne.

The study, which was done in 100 healthy volunteers aged between 16 and 35 years who have or had acne vulgaris. Participants was given a quantity of 200 grams. 100% dark chocolate a day for one week

After four days was found to increase the available acne by about 28% of the original and about 10% plus formed new buds on the back and shoulders. After the seventh day rate was already 50% for acne on the face and about 24% for the presence of bumps on the back and shoulders. The quantity of comedones was also increased.

Very interesting article. By the way, is dark chocolate as bad as regular milk chocolate? Thanks.

I've heard varying arguments about the yes and no's of eating chocolate and whether is causes acne. Since Im diabetic I guess I wont have to worry :(

I'd be interested to know what kind of chocolate was used in the study - what other ingredients were in it that may have contributed to the acne (sugars, waxes fats, fillers). The other side of the coin is that cold pressed, raw, unprocessed cocoa is exceedingly high in antioxidants and the subjects could have been going thru a rapid detox. I've seen that in myself & others when they start a new regime of Xocai healthy chocolate.

Oh no! I would start to hate dark chocolate from now on. I am suffering pimple problem lately maybe because I am a chocolate lover. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not sure there are really scientific accounts to back up that chocolates are bad for acne because I know quite a few guys who are so into eating those but have porcelain skin anyway.
