Plus: Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest wellness fad changed my life
| | | | | “The French have made a new discovery: that basically, croissants make you ugly.” So writes Lucy Denyer in her deep dive into the health benefits – or lack thereof – of a breakfast rich in refined carbohydrates, like a baguette or croissant with jam, fruit juice and a sugary cup of tea or coffee.
Scientists at the University of Montpellier found that people who eat the typical French breakfast were rated less attractive than those who started the day with healthier, unrefined carbs. So – what to eat in the early hours if you want to posses a certain je ne sais quoi? Find out in Denyer’s well-researched piece here.
Plus, an Australian billionaire has plans to build a replica Titanic set for open-ocean sail, replete with a ballroom, indoor pool, Turkish baths, a smoking room and an old-fashioned gym. He’s even hinted that period costumes would be provided to bring the full picture to life – but would you really want to pay luxury prices to live without many modern luxuries, like en-suite bathrooms, as they did in 1912? Writer Dave Monk looks at the full picture here.
Enjoy!
