New research found that the opposite sex finds a person’s face less attractive after they’ve eaten refined carbohydrate-filled foods.
The study invited 104 heterosexual men and women to test their thesis — over breakfast.
Some participants dined on a high-carb menu, while others were offered a low-glycemic alternative.
Two hours after the meal, photos of the subjects were taken and handed out, with volunteers asked to rate each other’s curb appeal.
RESULTS:
Those who ate the carbs — men and women — were given lower facial attractiveness scores across the board.
Those who wrote in their survey that they typically eat high-carb breakfasts and snacks also tanked in the ratings.
Researchers say the next step is a much larger sample size, in order to better understand why foods impact how our faces look.
