Consuming chocolate led to a greater increase in acne lesions vs eating jellybeans, according to a single-blind randomized crossover study involving 54 college students.

Participants were randomly assigned to receive a milk chocolate bar or 15 jellybeans (both containing the same glycemic load). Investigators blindly assessed acne changes after 48 hours via photographs. They also conducted a crossover analysis 4 weeks later to demonstrate adequate washout. 

The chocolate consumption group had a statistically significant increase in acne lesions (+4.8 lesions) vs the jellybean contingent (-0.7 lesions). 

The authors noted that chocolate flavonoid consumption modulates cytokine production, which likely accounts for their findings.
