We have a show on TV here in Australia called What's Good For You. They tested this theory, and it turns out that chocolate actually dehydrates your skin. Definitely doesn't cause pimples.

This is a question I've wondered about all my life. You see, I am a chocoholic. I love the stuff. And, I cannot get enough of it. So considering that I must have eaten tons of the candy, and never have broken out in a body full of pimples - I am either very lucky or the pimple thing is a myth. I'm inclined to believe the latter. I have friends who crave chocolate as much as I do and they too do not suffer pimple breakouts. Does eating too much chocolate make you fat? Yes, and this is no myth. Alas, it is all too true. For me, pimples NO! Obesity yes.

When I was a teenager, I remember I had acne. I was lucky that it was not bad. Anyway, the dermatologist told me that CHOCOLATE, PEANUTS, AND FISH OIL causes acne. Ever since, I stopped eating it or only in extreme moderation. I am 47 now and don't have a problem with acne but still get an occasional pimple. I also heard that if you get pimples on your butt, it is a sign that you are eating something that causes pimples. I don't know if this is true. Wash your face at least three times a day and keep the oil off your face. You will see your
complexion clear up. Good luck.

This is a sore subject for me (pardon the pun). I know it's considered a myth and because it's considered a myth, I suffered from years of painful and ugly cystic acne until my 40s. Then I made the connection. I eat chocolate and I get cystic acne. I don't eat chocolate and I don't get cystic acne. I've tested the theory several times and each time, it true for me. I think it's some type of allergy to something in the chocolate. Once I have the acne, only Minocycline will clear it up. If I stay away from chocolate after that, I don't get the acne. This may not be true for everyone but if you stop eating it and it clears up for you then you know. Just sharing.

no this is completely untrue
you can eat as much chocolate you want
the only reason you get pimples is because you touch your face alot and/or you dont wash your face properly
be warned eating too much chocolate can be unhealthy!!
you might have had an allergic reaction where pimples had formed around your mouth

pimples are usually caused by blocked pores. Oily skin breaks out alot. Chocolate has been proven NOT to cause breakouts. Hope this helps.

Chocolate does not cause acne. Acne is caused by the staph bacteria. A poor diet can contribute to increased acne though and this is why many people think chocolate causes acne.

Probably not from real chocolate. Most chocolates contain fillers, artificial sweeteners, colors and flavors. Reactions may also be caused by the added nuts or creams, etc.

there is no proof that it does so. maybe you just got the pimples because of something else like puberty
