Chocolate myths busted!

Myth 1: Chocolate makes you break out.
Acne is caused by a build-up of dead skin cells in your pores, excessive sebum production and certain kinds of bacteria - not by the food you eat.


Myth 2: Chocolate is unhealthy.
A daily serving of dark chocolate may be good for blood pressure and insulin resistance. A bar of chocolate contains as much antioxidants as a glass of wine.


Myth 3: Chocolate is high in caffeine.
A milk chocolate bar has 6mg of caffeine, while a cup of instant coffee has up to 108mg of caffeine.
