An interesting article!!
Scientists have found a relation between the number and the presence / absence of moles and the ability to "fight" aging. It seems that people with more moles are less prone to suffer from aging effects, since their telomeres are longer than those of someone with less moles.
And I learned new thing, moles disappear with aging!! I didn't knew that!! I'm still in the phase that they are appearing.
So happy news for those who have "some" moles (like me :P). But keep in mind that people with moles are more prone to develop melanoma, so keep out of the sun!!

P.S. - If you click on the telomeres word in the text you will find a explanation for what a telomere is. :)
