In addition, eating chocolate increased production of another immune system factor called interleukin 10 after exposure to Staphylococcus aureus, MyHealthNewsDaily reported.

This is an time tested argument very often seems to have contradicting viewpoints. Can eatinghabits affect acne? Should you suffer from acne then at some point you have probably heard thatgreasy foods can make acne breakouts worse. What is so important is actually if perhaps this is trueor otherwise It may seem that junk meals tends to make a person's acne worse as its grease and willmake your skin more greasy and thus oily and much more acne vulnerable. Well in spite of preciselywhat you might believe this just isn't considered to be true within the clinical society Face acne isbrought on through the surplus release of sebum and nutrition has never been considered toinfluence that.

Chocolate may increase inflammation that aggravates acne, a new small-scale study has found.
Researchers at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center in the Netherlands, collectedblood samples from participants before and after they ate 48 g of chocolate, each day for four days.
The chocolate contained about 30 per cent cocoa. They then exposed the blood cells to bacteriacalled Propionibacterium acnes, which contribute to acne when they grow inside clogged pores andcause pores to become inflamed, and to Staphylococcus aureus -- another skin bacteria that canaggravates acne.
After eating chocolate, the seven participants� blood cells produced more interleukin-1b, amarker of immune system inflammation, when exposed to Propionibacterium acnes. This suggestschocolate consumption could increase the inflammation that contributes to acne, the researcherssaid.
In addition, eating chocolate increased production of another immune system factor calledinterleukin 10 after exposure to Staphylococcus aureus, MyHealthNewsDaily reported.
Interleukin 10 is thought to lower human bodies� defences against microorganisms, and thus,higher levels of interleukin 10 could create conditions that allow bacteria to infect pimples, andworsen them, the researchers said.
Although there�s a lot of talk about chocolate and other foods playing a role in acne,there�s very little evidence to show they do, said Dr Kanade Shinkai, a dermatologist at theUniversity of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, who specialises in acne treatments.
There is some evidence that so-called high glycemic foods, such as white bread, which release sugarvery quickly into the bloodstream, may be linked to acne, Shinkai said.
