Is Chocolate Bad for Your Skin?

My brother and I both struggled with acne our entire lives. His got so bad he had to go on acutane, but I was terrified of the side effects so I foudn a dermatologist that prescribed more natural treatments before pills. If changing my diet and using topical creams did not work then I would have used acutane eventually, but I was ready to really commit myself to a lifestyle change before I tried such a harsh chemical. I went off of refine carbohydrates completely and almost all sugars. I followed a diet similar to South Beach. I also switched to organic milk which tastes better and has a longer shelf life. My skin cleared up quickly and I don't even have to use the topical creams anymore! It's amazing. Some people simply cannot tolerate the refined carbs and sugars that are so heavy in the typical American diet. I also lost some weight so I feel wonderful too!
