Does chocolate cause pimples?

does choclotae cause pimples?

sweety you can get them from your period oily skin not taking care of your skin not washing eatting to much chocolate a lot of sodas.

actually yes because it contains sugar and eating too much sugar will do that

ya.. just like chips and stuff..

No. Diet does not effect acne. Acne is caused by oil buildup.

People say it does, but if that was the case I'd be covered.
I eat so much chocolate, and don't break out in acne.

Generally yes, since the amounts of sugars work towards increases of body wastes that take different forms... Indirectly yes. It's alright to eat an occasional chocolate, but also depending on your metabolism the amount of chocolate you can consume daily can vary. Personally I can't eat any more than 2 reeses cups... and then there's alternate issues between male and female bodies but again, generally and indirectly yes.

No you can eat anything you want just wash your face with a cleanser every morning and every night.

good luck with your pimples!, DUCKY!!!

um ya it does and junk food too.

Okay, so instead of just giving you my opinion on this matter, I actually went to Yahoo and typed, does chocolate cause acne, in the search engine and just copied and pasted the first five websites. If you read them, they are all unanimous with the decision that chocolate, or any other food, DOES NOT cause acne! I have read that it was a myth plenty of times before, but I decided to get you some evidence since most of the people on this thread seems think that it does.

Wow, some of the comments I have read answering your question are very wrong! I am studying to be a dermatologist and I know a little bit about skin. Here is the only answer you need to read: Eating milk or white chocolate isn't going to be good for your skin in any case. These products contain loads of sugar which slows the immune system. Your immune system is what ultimately determines the condition of your skin. Chocolate also contains dairy which is bad for people who suffer with acne or mild breakouts. (Dark chocolate, on the other hand is not bad for you as long as you don't eat too much.) Diet has 95% to do with your skin!! No matter what anyone tells you, trust me. Your body uses your skin as a way of detoxifying itself. If you eat junk food your face will most likely suffer the consequences, because you body is trying to get rid of toxins in your system. This as well as external things, (such as make-up) will cause you to get breakouts. Hope I was some help

sarahxo:

Do you have any proof to back up your statements? I don't care if I (or my evidence) is wrong, but I would like to know the truth as well and I don't understand why there are so many articles that state that chocolate doesn't cause acne. Thanks!

I heard acne and pimple is cause from body or oily skin build up and that chocolate doesn't give it to you.
