Default Moles linked with slower aging: study

http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2007/...s.html?ref=rss

People with a lot of moles may age slower than those with few moles, say British scientists, who suggest this may mean fewer age-related illnesses such as heart disease or osteoporosis for "moley people."

...

While large numbers of moles are linked to an increased risk of melanoma, a rare form of skin cancer, doctors have long suspected that people with lots of moles may have some advantages because moles are common in the general population.

...

"The results of this study are very exciting as they show for the first time that moley people, who have a slightly increased risk of melanoma, may, on the other hand, have the benefit of a reduced rate of aging," said lead researcher Dr. Veronique Bataille.

Man I can already feel myself aging...bloody mole people burrowing under everything. Seriously though I dont have any myself and I recall there being such a stigma to having moles growing up now its neat to hear there is some benefit or purpose to them.

The evolutionary reasoning for this? People with moles are ugly so they need to live longer than the hot people in order to have a chance at reproduction....
