>The beautiful people get all the breaks. A new study finds an interesting link between how attractive someone is and the strength of their immune system.
>A team at Texas Christian University found that when people had to rate a group of photos based on the attractiveness of each person’s face, they consistently rated individuals with stronger immune health as more attractive than other photos in the study.
>Although beauty is often in the eye of the beholder, researchers say there has been a historical link between what societies consider attractive and reproductive success. The TCU team theorized that, because certain evolutionary traits tie into more mating success, people who seem more attractive to others may also appear healthier to the opposite sex.

If you want children with good immune systems, don't bump uglies with the ugly. It does beg the question: should hotties be exempt from vaccine mandates?
