Chocolate Day 2022

I have always had a problem with chocolate. Being a chocoholic it has reeked havoc on my complexion with each and every bite. I have read in technical literature that chocolate does not cause acne ...

This was the point at which I realized that some so-called "experts" didn't really know what they were talking about and that the gullible were a rampant element of society.

Chocolate has ALWAYS given me acne and I don't care what the publications say. They are incorrect. My issues with it have only grown worse with advancing age and resultant rosacea — which is essentially 'adult acne'.

Chocolate is a food product made from roasted and ground cacao seed kernels. It's availability includes various states of being such as liquid, solid, or paste.
 

Chocolate covered cherry cordials have always been a personal favorite. I'm also quite fond of roasted cacao nibs which I purchase by the bag full and consume with great gusto.

Chocolate is eaten as a flavor in other foods or on it's own as a confection.

Cacao has been consumed in some form since the Olmec civilization which spans the 19th through 11th century BCE and the majority of Mesoamerican people which include the Maya and Aztecs, both of whom made and consumed chocolate beverages.

Today is Chocolate Day aka World Chocolate Day. It is a day to celebrate the taste of chocolate and it's versatility in other food creations.

Anyway, if you're one of the lucky ones unaffected by eating chocolate celebrate the day. Should you find yourself in my predicament which is loving chocolate yet suffering the ravages it imposes on the complexion then by all means, moderate your consumption to the most reasonable level you can determine.

Happy Chocolate Day !
