Brow Wow: Eyebrows Like Martin Scorsese


May 12, 2007

Diabetes may delay the graying of your eyebrow hair, reports Dr. Uwe Wollina of Germany, who examined a hundred men with gray pates between the ages of fifty and seventy years.  Half the men had matching gray eyebrows, and half still sported dark eyebrows.

Of the gray foxes with dark eyebrows, 76 percent had type 2 diabetes.  Only 18 percent of the men with matching gray eyebrows had diabetes. The mechanism isn’t clear, but if you look like Marty in the brow department, you might want to have your blood sugar tested.
