Mark of the stars? Ever notice how so many beautiful women have a mole on their face? My wife has one and she's also beautiful and she never gets sick. I don't know about aging, since she's just 25, but it sounds like a nice bonus for both of us. |

Mark of the stars? When I say Stars, I mean the the actual Stars, not the Hollywood kind that people associate with beauty marks. Quoting: Magnus74First Article: "What do Cindy Crawford and Robert DeNiro have in common? According to scientists they are probably going to live longer than most of us. This increased longevity, according to a new study from King's College in London, has nothing to do with their star power but everything to do with their facial moles. That's right, put away your wrinkle cream ladies because that little beauty mark that Marilyn Monroe first popularized now supposedly offers benefits that go far beyond good looks. Researchers discovered that people who have moles also have longer telomeres on their DNA. Your telomeres are the little end-caps on each chromosome that keep them from deteriorating so the longer your telomeres, the slower you age. People with moles also look about seven years younger than their smooth-faced friends. And the effect is magnified by the number of moles you have, the more the better, at least when it comes to their anti-aging benefits." Read More [link to www.ivillage.com] Sign up for iVillage Special Offers Excerpt from the UK study; "The effect is even quantifiable: if you have always resented your 100-plus moles, you can now take comfort from the fact that you will probably live six or seven years longer than someone with only 25 or so of the pesky things. That is, if a malignant melanoma doesn't get you first." [link to www.dvorak.org] I have thought this because my family has a long history of skin cancer associated with being riddled with beauty marks. If you can make it past 35 without getting cancer then you are golden in my family. All my Grandparents lived past 90 almost to 100 (Gram is 99 and still alive and almost fully independent.) She is a bit forgetful, but even my mom who is 80 and my sisters and myself look much younger than all of our friends (at least 10 years, but more noticeable the older you get) People comment on this all the time. Nobody in my family is bald, we get gray hair at around 60 and there are hardly any wrinkles on any of our skin no matter how old. The reason I am posting this is because of the RH negative threads talking about ET blood and wanted to see if we could connect some more dots as to what makes us different. However I am not RH negative - My blood type is AB positive, 100% Italian and have sandy blonde hair, blue eyes and riddled with beauty marks all over my body, (not freckles and not raised moles, even though I have a few of those, but tiny black round spots all over. This is the crazy part When i was a kid I noticed that they looked like stars.. I can even make out constellations, but think it is coincidence. If you have them, then you know what I mean. I am interested to learn what I have in common with you if you have them, and is your family like mine? I just think it is funny that they did a study on this and there might be more than what meets the eye. A beauty mark is on the left side of the face, centered. I have one. I was always told that was a sign of beauty. I also have a widows peak. I do not wrinkle. My skin is smooth and beautiful. I have been told I look like a goddess.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1245849There are all races including orientals that have them- I don't think it is a race thing, but I am curious as to if there is a connection with blood type (as that field seems to be well researched) Thank you for your comment. |

Mark of the stars? I've had several removed, including one on the side of my mouth. My friend in high school had a very hairy mole on her chin, and she was shunned by everyone. I regret that I didn't suggest tweezers. Maybe she didn't know. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1245039That is not uncommon- people who have them hate them. The ones with hair are gross.. I have two on my shoulder and one on my lower back that are elevated with hair the other thousand or so are all flat- I shave em in the summer. Thanks for sharing. |

This is 100% verifiable.. it took all these years for someone to finally study it. But people still don't know the WHY? The flip-side of the question is; Why do people with longer telomeres have beauty marks on their skin. Why are we marked? |

Quoting: XanderYeah.. i think there is a correlation between beauty marks and attractiveness as well and not just being youthful in appearance. Unfortunately there is not much data on this except that WE know it is true. |

Mark of the stars? Sweet, I have more than 100 little ones scattered everywhere. I can even make out 2-3 constellations! I'm only just 24 (5 days in!) so I don't know about aging well. Although most people mistake me for being 17. All the women on my maternal side have plentiful moles. My mother is in her early 50's, but could easily pass for 40. She has beautiful skin, not a wrinkle to be seen. She also has kick-ass bone structure, so she has no trouble making mens heads turn! My grandmother always looked 10 years younger; but she did die young from cancer (pancreatic), so I don't know about long lived. My great-grandmother died at 96, great-great died at 98, great-great-great was 95 I think? And as far as I know the daughters/sisters/cousins all lived long. The men don't seem so lucky...but it seems most of the men aren't born with many moles. Interesting. He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
