Hi, I am the creator of outspeaker and that analysis. Regarding the acne claim, you can read more about it here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6169599/

Results: Chocolate consumption caused a significant increase in corneocyte desquamation only in the group of young men, whereas Gram-positive microorganism presence significantly increased in both the young and middle-aged men, though this effect was noticeably stronger in the young men.

Here is another: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24847404/ Conclusion: It appears that in acne-prone, male individuals, the consumption of chocolate correlates to an increase in the exacerbation of acne.
