I read somewhere that it’s a myth that chocolate gives you acne – is this true?

There are many myths about what causes acne, particularly relating to diet. There is no evidence that diet plays any part in causing acne, so there is little point in avoiding chocolate. However an increase of sugar in the diet can interfere with insulin production. This in turn could affect other hormones causing a possible imbalance, leading to breakouts on the skin. In general however, diet is not normally linked to acne.
