Adulterated Studies

In one study, conducted at the School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, examined the relationship between chocolate and acne. Interestingly, the study was sponsored by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association. Furthermore, in this study were examined two bars, both of which have a very high proportion of sugar and hydrogenated fats. The second additionally contained some chocolate bars.

One can assume that affect sugar and hydrogenated fats much more heavily on acne, as the small amount of chocolate. The results of the study was that chocolate does not trigger acne.

The second study examined the relationship between sugar and acne. They were involved in only a few participants in the study and the glycemic load of the processed carbohydrates was not considered. This study was not meaningful.

Under glycemic load is defined as the impact of food on blood sugar levels, taking into account the amount of carbohydrates. Foods with a high glycemic load can quickly increase blood sugar levels.

This distorted trial results have been established since then in medical circles. To date, medical students are taught that acne has nothing to do with nutrition.
