Chocolate causes acne

False. There’s no scientific evidence to prove that eating chocolate directly causes acne. Breakouts can be related to various factors (including genetics, dietary habits, hormonal changes, and specific skin conditions of each person).

Dark chocolate is the least fattening

True. Dark chocolate usually contains less added sugar than other types of chocolate, especially when it has a high cocoa percentage. However, it is an energy-rich food, and its caloric intake also depends on the amount we consume.

Chocolate is addictive

False. Chocolate is not considered an addictive substance. However, it can generate an intense craving for it in situations of emotional stress, as it produces pleasant sensations and well-being.
