                        Chocolate does cause acne in some people.    Many will tell you this is a myth.  Science  hasn't been able to figure out just how  chocolate might cause this.  This may be  because it doesn't affect all people in  the same way.  But, I can speak from personal  experience.  I've stayed away from chocolate  for two years (and only chocolate), and found  that only when I break this restriction  (for the specific purpose of testing this  theory) do I have acne break-outs.    Specifically, it is not merely cocoa,  but bars of chocolate (both dark and   milk varieties) which cause the problem  for me.  Perhaps it has something to do  with the oils in that kind of chocolate.  I don't know.  All I know is that eating  such chocolate is a sure path to acne for  me.    Hope this helps.    Tim
