Valentine’s present ALERT: Chocolate = ACNE?

February 13th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s the time of the year again, where all love birds celebrate the most commercialize occasion ~ Valentine’s day. A day where gals (some only) are flooded with roses, chocolates, jewelries (particularly diamonds) and perhaps “creative” lingerie!

Speaking of chocolates, I came across this article online about the relations between chocolate and acne. Although I am a big fan of GOURMET chocolates, I always moderate my self incase my acne turns out to be chronic chicken pox.   Contrary to popular Chinese believe (chocolate = heaty-ness) chocolate does not cause pimples and it seems that acne is not caused by consuming any specific food. Well this is good news for chocoholics, however I still suggest to take it in moderations else it is your waistline that will increase and not acne.

Apart from chocolates, it seems that roses are grown in a heavily pesticide environment. Not only it is bad for the overall environment but a few more sniff on the flowers will have you pesti-fied! Hahaha. Diamonds on the other hand are usually traded to fund war effort! So indirectly if you purchase a diamond, you may have indirectly supported war ~ so much for undying love! Tough choice huh! Well … I guess you can still go for lingerie?!?!?! Hahahaha. To read the full article check out The Star page 35 (World).
