"Study Links Refined Carb Intake to Decreased Facial Attractiveness"
A study from the University of Montpellier in France found that higher consumption of refined carbohydrates was associated with lower facial attractiveness ratings in both men and women. The study suggested that regularly consuming refined carbohydrates at breakfast and as snacks was linked to lower attractiveness ratings, while a breakfast high in fats and proteins with a small amount of refined carbohydrates boosted attractiveness ratings. Experts emphasize that refined carbs should be eaten in moderation, as they lack nutritional value and can crowd out more healthful, nutrient-dense foods.
