Teen acne tied to better heart health in men
The activity of male hormones, androgens, can give rise to acne during adolescence, but may also protect against coronary heart disease in adulthood, UK researchers report.
However, androgens also appear to be associated with an increased risk of dying from prostate cancer, the study in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggests.
So, if you have or had acne, you can look forward to probably not having a heart attack. Unfortunately, you will still die.
