I made the best chocolate muffins ever. I really love cooking and baking and all that goes with that. Do you think if I ate chocolate muffins for every meal I would get acne? When I was a teen everyone use to tell us that if you ate fried things or lots of chocolate that you would get really bad acne. Not that it stopped us from eating those things. You know you think that most things like rules don’t apply to you when you are a teenager?? And I don’t think my acne was as bad as or worse than anyone else’s. There was a family that had teens my age that I rode the bus with, that had really bad acne issues.

I know that they didn’t eat fried foods or chocolate every day to account for their skin issues. I know their mom cooked pretty much like any other mom. Sure they liked pizza and French fries as much as any another teens, but they didn’t eat that every day for every meal. So I guess in their case it was just bad genetics. That is too bad. Teen years are rough anyway and you don’t need the added stress of horrible acne to compound that. At least today we realize that fried food and chocolate, while not great for you, are not the number one contributors of acne.
