We're sure that throughout your life you've heard different myths about chocolate, but are they really true?
False. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that there is a link between eating chocolate and acne. It has been proven that chocolate has no effect on the skin, and that the appearance of pimples can be caused by genetics, hormonal problems, or various other factors.
True. Dark chocolate has a lower percentage of added sugar compared to other types of chocolate, so it is less fattening.
False. Chocolate is not considered an addictive substance, although cravings for this food can arise at times. This is because chocolate increases serotonin secretion, causing feelings of well-being and pleasure.
False. Storing chocolate in the refrigerator spoils it, as sudden changes in temperature damage it and can cause it to turn white and earthy. It should be stored in a dry place between 15 and 19 degrees Celsius.
