I've read time and time again and seen many so called experts on TV say chocolate does NOT cause spots, but I reckon they are talking rubbish.
My cousin just got back from the USA and asked if I wanted anything .. I said some American chocolate (Hershey's) anyway been munching on them for most of the week when I usually hardly ever eat choclate and last two days I've got tonnes of spots .. I reckon like most of these old wives tales this one is true.
What do you guys think from your own experiences?

Anyway, because you said you don't usually eat chocolate, I think it was just a reaction because you did something different.
I don't think that regular chocolate eating causes spots, but I think changing habits does. For example, if you suddenly start to use a different soap from the one that you use now, you'll probably get spots.
Usually if I eat UK chocolate it's like a Kit Kat or something.
Acne is sustained spots, lots of them, over a long period of time.
There is no proof, but eating healthily can only help your body create a good balance.
high insulin can casue both spots and acne - it increases the secreation and consistancy of sebum
chocolate will probably cause high levels of insulin,
therefor a possible connection
