I agree. It used to infuriate me to read those articles. I've tested this a million times on myself, and the data is really significant (for me). What the people who assert things things don't get is that we'd love to be wrong. We test this over and over hoping to be wrong.... but we get these stupid pimples.

It's not really the scientists who are at fault (I'm a scientist, actually); it's the journalists and lay people who misquote the results... The studies say "no significant link", but, like you said, this only means no one can _prove_ a link, not that a link doesn't exist.

One thing that might cheer you up is that I don't get pimples from Lindt chocolate. My guess is that what I'm allergic to is something in the processing. I don't know. Haven't tracked it yet. Anyway, maybe it'll work for you, too. it's worth a shot. I eat this a lot, and I really don't get pimples from it, but I do from M & Ms and all the regular "cheap" chocolate.

Hope this helps.
