Eating processed food makes your face less attractive, study finds

How attractive your face looks appears to be linked to the kind of food you have just eaten, according to new research in France suggesting that dating trouble can be as much to do with bad manners and bad breath as it is with eating too much processed food.

A University of Montpellier team sat over 100 men and women down for a series of tests, asking them questions about their eating habits, making them eat food laden with refined carbohydrates before having them rate other participants' physical attractiveness based on photos taken two hours after the feeding.
