The results of a joint study of Finnish and American scientists suggest that such a terrible disease like cancer of the prostate, the owner of "fire" Hair is almost no danger. Experts believe that they are protected by the gene MC1R, responsible for red hair, however, this view is not yet proven.
Large-scale experiment was started 23 years ago. Scientists have observed more than 20 thousand men exchanged sixth decade: analyzed data contained in the medical records of test and learned their hair color in 20-years of age.
After processing the received data, the researchers found that prostate cancer sick person 1982, but redheads the stronger sex disease virtually spared: the owners of "fiery" mane on end of life is less than 54% were likely to develop prostate cancer.
"Our study reveals the relationship between the red (the nature of) hair color and resistant to prostate cancer. We assume that the MC1R gene may help control cell division and growth, but to prove it can not yet ", - said Ian Frame from the British Prostate Center.
For reference:
A truly red-haired people in the world are not so many - "fiery" hair can not boast of more than 2% of the world population. Most of them live in Scotland (13%), Ireland (10%) and the UK (6%).
The fact of the topic:
If prostate cancer is the stronger sex redheaded little face, another cancer lurks "mushrooms", and both men and women throughout their lives. Since they have a very soft, light skin, they can not often be found in the sun to avoid the development of melanoma.
In addition, according to experts of the University of Louisville in Kentucky, redheads are more sensitive to pain and cold than the dark-haired, brown-haired and blond, but the most amazing thing is that they are 90% more prone to other Parkinson's disease. (READ MORE)
