Sugar causes systemic inflammation & inflammatory conditions such as inflamed acne. Sugar depletes your minerals, rendering your vitamins useless and bringing you closer to degenerative disease. Refined sugar does not have one health-boosting quality. It is poison to our metabolic system. Yet, on average, Americans consume 20 teaspoons of sugar per day. One 12oz soda contains approximately 39 teaspoons of sugar.

Does chocolate cause acne?
Trick question!
Chocolate does not cause acne. I'm referring to the cacao, itself. However, the caffeine within the cacao as well as all the added SUGAR and dairy - are all major triggers for breakouts.
If you have to have it, go for the dark stuff. The darker the better. 80 percent. Buy the individually wrapped chocolates from the health food store so you don't scarf down the whole thing!

Chocolate and acne go hand in hand. If you're like me, buying a chocolate bar with the intention of having a little piece, rarely works.
If you're fighting acne in Chico, Ca. and absolutely, unmistakably must have chocolate, allow yourself one, individually wrapped, dark chocolate treat, and then, walk away. That means leave the store, get in your car and drive away with your single piece of chocolate. Savor its presence in your mouth. Appreciate the creamy, smooth texture. Be grateful for that one piece. Then, tell yourself, "I'm satisfied" - whether you are or not.

Constipation is a major contributor to breakouts, particularly inflamed pimples. It's your body's job to eliminate toxins, and if you're constipated, your body will begin eliminating toxins through the skin. This can present itself as body odor or acne issues in Chico.
Healthy bowels eliminate 2 full bowel movements daily or at least 1 complete bowel movement per day. Even if you are eliminating daily, strained, painful, hard or clumping bowel movements are indicators of constipation.
