Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The author thinks it’s likely that stress causes both acne and chocolate-eating, rather than chocolate consumption causing acne. To support this, they offer two pieces of evidence. First, stress hormones can cause acne. Second, chocolate enjoyers eat more chocolate when stressed.

Identify Conclusion

The conclusion is that “it is likely that common wisdom has mistaken an effect for a cause.” In other words, eating chocolate is probably an effect of stress (which also causes acne), rather than causing acne itself.
