associated with acne, obesity, high blood pressure,
coronary artery disease, and diabetes. Keep in mind that
cocoa contains caffeine and related chemicals. Eating large
amounts might cause caffeine-related side effects such as
nervousness, increased urination, sleeplessness, and a fast
heartbeat. Cocoa can cause allergic skin reactions,
constipation and might trigger migraine headaches.
