AN INTERESTING BOTOX SIDE EFFECT:

In a recent study of women undergoing cosmetic treatment with Botox, researchers found that the treatment, which blocks facial nerve impulses, seemed to slow the ability to comprehend emotional language.

“We know that language moves us emotionally,” said the lead author, David Havas, a psychology graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “What this study shows is that that’s partly because it moves us physically.”
