No buttons, no chocolate ?
According to several studies, it seems that acne has a chocolate component.
The proof in figures: almost 5 more buttons on the counter for students who ate a bar of chocolate[ 1 ] !
Small squares, big effects
The culprits could be the flavonoids contained in cocoa whose effect would be PRO - inflammatory. These same flavonoids normally famous for their ANTI - inflammatory effects... Not everything is completely clear about this cocoa effect. What our Doctors can tell you, however, is that the sugar and milk present in large quantities in certain chocolates play an important role in the occurrence of spots.
Black is black, but there is hope
Don’t panic, not all chocolates should be banned from your “SOS comfort” kit. Dark chocolate is the least likely to aggravate acne[ 1 ].
The solution for adventurers: switch to 100% cocoa grand cru... but if you are not a fan of bitterness, change your milk or white chocolate ( which between We is not not Really of chocolate but instead a Tablet of sugar ) against black ( at less has 80 %), will already allow you to have your morale in good shape without too many pimples !
This chocolate story is just an appetizer of what you could learn by carrying out the diagnosis that our Doctors have prepared for you. So come in for a consultation and receive advice tailored to YOUR acne.
