Researchers at University of Montpellier found a link between refined carbohydrate consumption and lower facial attractiveness.

Researchers at the University of Montpellier, France found a link between refined carbohydrate consumption and lower facial attractiveness ratings for both men and women. In a study involving 104 adult participants, those with higher levels of refined carbohydrate consumption had lower facial attractiveness ratings provided by heterosexual volunteers of the opposite sex. Participants were given high-glycemic or low-glycemic breakfasts and then had their facial attractiveness evaluated by other volunteers. Consuming a high-glycemic breakfast was associated with lower attractiveness ratings for both men and women. The study suggests that regularly consuming refined carbohydrates at breakfast and as snacks may lead to lower attractiveness ratings.
