“…The Chocolate Manufacturers Association of the USA sponsored the Fulton study and the study subjects were prisoners. 3 There were no baseline data or quantitative analysis, and no difference in the sugar and fat content between the chocolate bar and the control bar. 3 The link of chocolate to acne vulgaris was replaced by the theory that a high glycemic index may contribute to acne vulgaris.…”

“…3 There were no baseline data or quantitative analysis, and no difference in the sugar and fat content between the chocolate bar and the control bar. 3 The link of chocolate to acne vulgaris was replaced by the theory that a high glycemic index may contribute to acne vulgaris. [4][5][6] In this study, we attempted to revisit the controversial topic by assessing the development of new acne lesions following ingestion of chocolate versus a nonchocolate candy with a similar glycemic load.…”

“…However, later researchers noted methodological flaws in the original study, including the fact that the placebo bar contained a similar total sugar and fat content as the chocolate bar [ 3 ]. Further studies have now correlated a number of dietary factors and acne.…”

Background:In the past, medical literature reflected that diet was not a proven cause of acne. However, studies in recent years have substantiated a link between certain dietary factors and acne. It is unclear whether patients are aware of recent research findings.Objectives:Acne patients were surveyed to explore beliefs regarding the link between diet and acne, to determine whether these beliefs translated into behavior change and to identify health information sources.Patients/Methods:Upon Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, surveys were administered to 50 acne patients at an academic dermatology clinic in 2014, with 49 completed in full and included in this analysis.Results:Ninety-two percent of respondents believed that diet could affect acne. Seventy-one percent attempted to change their diet to improve acne. Seventy-one percent believed acne to be caused by fried or greasy foods, although chocolate (53%), dairy (47%), and soda drinks (35%) were highly implicated. Patients obtained information from Google searches (49%), dermatologists (43%), family members and TV (41% each), and medical websites (31%).Conclusions:In this exploratory study, patients reported utilizing a diversity of information sources, a majority from the Internet. In those surveyed, there was a persistence of long-held belief that fried/greasy foods and chocolate may serve as acne triggers, and less belief in trigger foods supported by recent research, including refined carbohydrates and sugar. Given the multiplicity of beliefs and utilized sources among acne patients in our survey, there is a need to establish up-to-date and reliable methods to educate patients on diet and acne.

The purpose of the review was to study the data of the modern literature on the eﬀect of diet on the skin condition and the course of some dermatological diseases. Recent studies have shown a strong link between diet and a number of dermatological conditions. Food allergies and Western eating patterns can dramatically alter microbiome composition and intestinal permeability. In conditions of disturbed microbial balance and changes in the barrier function of the intestine, the penetration of immunogenic molecules into the systemic circulation, including food antigens, bacterial toxins and pathogens, which can accumulate in the skin, disrupt the epidermal barrier and contribute to chronic inﬂammation, increase. However, in children with atopic dermatitis, elimination diets did not show a signiﬁcant advantage in reducing the severity of the disease; on the contrary, adverse events associated with malnutrition, lack of vitamins and minerals were more often recorded. Despite the fact that dietary intervention is an important aspect of the treatment and prevention of a wide range of dermatological diseases, many questions remain open today.
