Myth. One of the biggest myths in modern society is that chocolate causes pimples. On a scientific level, acne, or greasy foods have no effect on the production of the skin oils that truly cause acne problems. The myth is harder to dispel because we're brought up with the belief: Sub-consciously when a lot of teenagers eat chocolate, then get a breakout, it only makes sense to them because of what they've been told by their parents and friends.
Acne and chocolate are no more related than cats and dogs -- so we can all rest easy. The simple fact of the matter is that acne, like so many other ailments humans have, is a genetic condition. For the most part, acne can only be prevented with proper treatments, not with assumptions or societal myths.
Even after being told that acne and chocolate consumption aren't related, some people still believe their breakouts are brought on by consuming it. Some scientists believe that their are indeed some foods that may be responsible for creating a hormonal response, that can induce increased production of oils in the skin. However, with that said, this is only an assumption, as there is no scientific evidence to support the theory, while there is much evidence to support the fact that there is no correlation whatsoever.
To take the acne and chocolate debate even further, it's believed that since our hormones can often be affected by the way we think: Even if chocolate consumption brings on a breakout in certain individuals, it's quite likely that the person brought the outbreak on by willing it to happen.
So, put all your preconceived notions aside and eat chocolate and other healthy foods at your discretion. These kinds of foods are still unhealthy for you and will lead to: weight gain, clogged arteries and lack of proper concentration -- but will not cause acne.
