Does Chocolate Cause Acne?

For acne care in Chico please contact the Acne Clinic (530)503.9169.

Chocolate does not cause acne. The high sugar content in chocolate and other foods puts stress on the immune system, and in turn can trigger acne flare-ups. The next time you have a craving for chocolate, reach for the dark stuff - at least 70% cocoa. For added anti-oxidant benefits, look for cold pressed, unalkalized chocolate (chocolate processed without "dutching"). Check out our website for more acne tips.
