Hey guys, it’s your girl Britt.  Today we are taking a deeper look at some of the studies cluttering your newsfeed. I saw an article that claimed, ‘Eating chocolate can make your skin look healthier’, so I clicked on the link as fast as I could. I’m pretty sure I just really wanted this study to be true, because I was feeling hopeful when I clicked the link and then all of my hopes and dreams were crushed. The study, published in Nutrition Journal in 2014, actually set out to see if the antioxidants in chocolate could help protect skin against harmful UV rays.  There were a total of 74 female participants and they were broken up into two groups—one was given high-flavanol chocolate and the other given low-flavanol chocolate. So, not only were the groups small, but they were all female—no males were studied. But I will say, it was double-blinded study, which means neither the facilitators or participants knew which chocolate was going to who. The results? Well, unfortunately, eating high-flavanol chocolate does not help your skin look healthier. This “Under the Microscope” has been brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas.  If you are interested in becoming a patient of one of our  awesome providers, check out emtexas.com.
