If I Eat Too Much Chocolate Will My Face Break Out?

If I Eat Too Much Chocolate Will My Face Break Out?
Contrary to popular beliefs, consuming too much chocolate does not cause your skin to break out.


But, it does so much more damage to your entire body that is even more harmful. Recent studies show that when a diet is loaded with sweets and sugary snacks, this will eventually lead to dull, wrinkled and old looking skin.

When you eat too much sugar, the extra sugar molecules will attach themselves to the protein in your bloodstream, this unnatural attachment causes a new configuration to form in your blood. This new configuration will - over time - destroy the flexibility and the density of the connective protein in your skin -- called collagen.

Sugar (no matter how much or how little) also causes inflammation, and the inflammation puffs your skin and the constant puffing and deflating of your skin will leave you looking old and tired before your time. Add the diet stuffed with sweets to smoking, excessive alcohol consumption (which also has a lot of sugar in it) and that deep constant tan, you will soon have to change your name to Prune-etta or Prune-etto.

The good chocolate health benefits are destroyed when there is a high sugar content.
