Though some people report their acne worsens after eating certain foods, there is no scientific evidence showing that chocolate – or any other food for that matter – directly causes or worsens acne. Instead, acne is caused when hormonal changes – most often during puberty – cause oil glands underneath the skin’s surface to produce excess oil. In addition, skin cells lining hair follicles shed more rapidly during puberty, and when mixed with oil, clog the openings of follicles. A normal skin bacteria can multiply in the follicle and produce irritation, inflammation and the various types of skin lesions associated with acne.

Answer #3

No chocolate does not cause break out , when you touch your face the oils from your finger get in your pores and cause break out another cause of break out is stress.

Answer #4

Nope one big myth

Answer #5

It’s the high concentration of oil in nuts that can cause pimples. Chocolate itself is in fact harmless, but the peanut oil or vegetable oil they put in it can cause some acne. No severe breakouts, but if you eat enough of it you could develop some ace.
