Abstract in brief

This study explored whether eating more fruits and vegetables (FV) can make people look more attractive, especially focusing on skin color and health, but found only small indirect effects in women related to skin yellowness.
It involved 30 low FV consumers who increased their intake over 4 weeks, with photographs taken before and after, and independent ratings of facial attractiveness and skin health.
Overall, increasing FV intake did not directly boost facial attractiveness, and the small effects observed are not strong enough to justify using attractiveness as a strategy to promote healthier eating habits.]
