New Study Links Botox to Pathological Lying
Key Points:
- A Harvard Medical School study suggests a link between excessive Botox use and pathological lying, attributing it to interactions between Botox and brain proteins causing an "acute allergic reaction to the truth."
- The study indicates that overuse of Botox impairs facial muscle movement necessary for speech, but any speech produced tends to be dishonest.
- Additional side effects identified include swelling in the cranium, leading users to wear large hats as a coping mechanism.
- The findings highlight potential psychological and physical risks associated with frequent Botox injections beyond cosmetic concerns.
