- The changes in the immune system were investigated when eating chocolate. These changes were linked to the appearance of acne. These changes are the secretion of blood cells to two substances that play a large role in inflammation and the body’s resistance to microorganisms.
- The study was conducted on 7 healthy people. As blood samples were taken from them before and after they have chocolate for four consecutive days, and blood cells were found to produce a greater amount of (interleukin-1B). As this is a sign to the immune system to the presence of inflammation, in case of exposure the blood to one of the bacteria causing acne, which is called Propionibacterium acnes.
- Besides, the amount of interleukin 10 that was found in the blood has increased after eating chocolate, and one of the properties of this substance is that it works to weaken the body against microorganisms such as bacteria, and therefore can’t resist another type of bacteria that cause acne, called staphylococcus aureus.
