I scrolled down to find Piracetam - it says "illegal everywhere" which is plainly untrue. It's sold OTC in dozens of countries and by prescription elsewhere. It's an uncontrolled substance in the US. I absolutely believe the 40% figure (it had little to no positive benefit for me) but casting it as illegal is wild misinformation.
And saying that cocoa flavanols cause acne? What is this, a middle school lunch table in 1985? Falsities like this don't inspire confidence in the conclusions.
- onesandofgrain 8mo agoHi, 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/ 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/ 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.
