Myth #8: Eating chocolate regularly gives you acne

Sometimes I really wonder who invents these myths… But no matter who that person is, it’s just one against endless research. Studies have shown that there’s virtually no link between chocolate and acne. And the amount of chocolate you indulge in has anything to do with acne, either.

Still, it might be a grain of truth there… Because following diets high in sugar and fat can indeed result in increased sebum production. But it definitely doesn’t translate to “chocolate intake leads to acne.” Still, we might want to highlight the fact that dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa is better for your health.
