Does chocolate cause breakouts?

Does chocolate cause breakouts? Well not directly, but anything you eat can effect your skin. There has been no direct link between a specific food and acne. That does not mean that what you eat doesn't effect your skin. If you eat a diet that's high in fat, sugar and preservatives your body has a lot of toxins that are built up in it. Your skin is an excretory organ (part of the waste removal system in our bodies) and helps to remove toxins from the body, so if your body is chuck full of toxins it will get rid of the extra waste any way it can. For some this may mean extra breakouts. Everyone's system is different and some people are sensitive to certain foods. If  your eating a lot of chocolate and you notice your breaking out more if could mean that your body is sensitive to chocolate and your body cannot break it down that well or you've had to much and you should cut back. The same goes for pizza, cheeseburgers, french fries or candy. If you notice a certain food causes your skin to breakout then obviously avoid those foods or eat less of them. So go ahead and enjoy that piece of chocolate or have that slice of pizza just don't go overboard.
