It has long been seen as the enemy of clear skin, but eating chocolate could prove more effective than beauty products at banishing spots, it is claimed.
Acne Care chocolate bars, which are about to hit UK shelves, are said to deliver antioxidants and micro-nutrients that help clear the skin.
They are among a raft of weird and wacky 'functional foods' - or 'neutraceuticals' - being showcased at a London show later this month and which promise to transform a shopper's grocery basket into a medicine cabinet.
US Acne Care manufacturer Frutels recommends consumers take between two and five chocolate doses per day to see results in two weeks or less.
