A French study found people who eat a breakfast high in refined carbs (like pastries and juice) were rated less attractive than those who ate whole grains (like wholemeal toast) for breakfast. This might be because refined carbs affect blood sugar and insulin, potentially impacting skin health and sex hormones. The researchers suggest swapping refined carbs for unrefined options to improve both health and attractiveness.

I've had porridge for breakfast every day for the last few years and I have no evidence to suggest it has made me more handsome. Perhaps tomorrow...

Maybe you oughta try adding different ingredients to it and experiment. Make it scientific.

I like your thinking. I currently add seeds and cinnamon, with a topping of Greek yogurt and a banana. So I switch the seeds for nuts and see if the sexual flood gates open. If not, try a different grain as a base. And I'd be doing it for science!
