Study Links Refined Carbs to Lower Facial Attractiveness

A recent study finds that both immediate and chronic consumption of refined carbohydrates can decrease facial attractiveness, according to ratings by heterosexual volunteers.

A new study involving 104 French adults reveals a connection between refined carbohydrate intake and decreased facial attractiveness.
Consumption of a high-glycemic breakfast resulted in lower attractiveness ratings compared to a low-glycemic meal.
The research highlights sex-specific differences in how snack consumption affects attractiveness, with men and women responding differently.
Findings suggest that diet, particularly refined carbohydrates, may influence social traits such as attractiveness beyond known health effects.
Further research is needed to explore the broader societal implications of dietary habits on nonmedical traits like attractiveness.
