WATCH VIDEO: Botox Kills Emotions
Botox Kills Emotion
New Research from Barnard on Botox is proving a century old theory that a lack of facial expression can actually inhibit emotions. A group of individuals were subjected to emotionally charged video clips both before and after being injected by Botox, a cosmetic procedure which paralyzes certain facial muscles. The result: After being injected, the subjects had a significantly reduced emotional reaction.
So buyer beware, when you erase all those wrinkles you may also be erasing away your bodies ability to feel natural human emotions.

Check out a video of what happened on their amazing journey on HuffPost Green.
