They compared dark chocolate with a trans-fat based candy bar and had
very little difference.

There is an Omega 3 and acne paper written in 2003 by Logan, but I
haven't been able to read the text.

I would theorize that saturated and transfats would tend to clog pores
because skin temperature is much lower than body temperature.

Omega 6 is reported to be effective for some skin diseases like
psoriasis.

Default chocolate and acne

It is commonly held that 'chocolate' does
not cause acne. That acne arises from the
inflammation of pores due to hormonal
imbalance. However, I am curious
if anyone knows what study concluded this
and how they defined 'chocolate'?
Was it dark chocolate? Milk Chocolate?
Etc.
