Hmmm I have lots of moles but don't seem to be aging well otherwise. I am getting tons of wrinkles on my arms etc... I have very thin skin. However, until recent years, my diet consisted of about 20% protein, 5% vegetables/fruits and 75% SUGAR. I have a naturally high metabolism so am not overweight, so never thought twice about eating an entire carton of ice cream (during one movie) or eating a 2 pound bag of candy bars over the course of a single day. Perhaps I am paying the price of a lifetime of high insulin levels.

This is encouraging information. It is good PR for those of us who have always been self conscious about having so many moles that friends joke about being able to play connect the dots with them. Please still be sure to monitor your moles for significant changes in color, size, and shape as this may be an indication of skin cancer.

Yes, it verifies in my case too: I look young for my age, and I have lots of them all over my body. But I have a big one approximately in the region of my right kidney, that I was contemplating to get rid of after I wean, using the product called "wartmolevanish". Anyone heard about this product?

Sounds like another case of "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" - a rhetorical device, literally, "after this, therefore because of this" - suggesting a cause-and-effect relationship. The fact that some people have moles, and some people live longer than others, may be totally unrelated. I have gorgeous legs, no veins showing, nicely developed calf muscles, at an age when most women have legs like road maps; wanna measure my telomeres?

First, great article. I agree with what Dr. Joe says about optimizing your insulin levels, but I wish he would be more specific. The phrase "grains and sugars" is misleading. IOW, many people may think you can eat all the fruits, legumes, etc., that you want, but these can raise insulin levels too.

Cool. I'm pushing the 100 count, and no one can ever guess my age. I'm only 31 and people are usually off by 10 years. My parents are both "moley" and they look a good 10-15 years younger than what they are. They are in their mid to late 50's and most people put them into their early 40's. I always figured our "aging" well to be genetic, maybe the genetics is linked with the moles. So now when someone comments on the fact that I have a lot of moles, I can be proud of them and say with a smile, "Yah, I know!"

I don't know about the mole thing, but it is interesting. I agree with the doc that stress and lack of exercise are probably much bigger factors. I think doc Mercola and the products he recommends are great. The only aging thing I am confused about is the grain thing. Dr. Paavola Airola , the great European nutritionist, studied the healthiest and longest living cultures and found that whole grains were a staple of their diets{not denatured grains like most people eat} He stressed that eating whole and not refined grains actually balance insuling levels and prevented both diabetes and hypoglycemia, because of the slow rather than fast release of insulin in repsonse. I eat quinoa and brown rice and don't seem to have any insulin problems and my body mass index is perfect. Glad I could post this and will probably get shot down as a heretic but that is democracy.

I've already removed 17 moles with black salve and am working on another 12 right now. I wonder if it is caused by a virus. I definitely look young for my age but I'm tired of having so many moles.

My mother-in-law was a very moley person and she lived to be 96. She never looked as old as she was. My husband has lots of moles and no one ever believes he's 69. I just have a few moles here and there. People use to think I was much younger than my age, but not so much now. I guess my looks are catching up with my age.

Unfortunately I have statin induced myopathy which makes exercise almost impossible

I second the request for an elucidation of the mole/freckle dichotomy.

I have lots of moles and always try to shrink them by rubbing olive oil on them, to prevent skin cancer. It's good they're a marker for long life! I wonder if there's a correlation between how lighter skinned people tend to get more Vitamin D from the sun more quicly, and they're also more likely to get moles? Higher Vitamin D probably leads to a longer life. If you're dark, make sure you get lots of sun!

I kinda disagree with Dr. Mercola that insulin is the primary cause of aging. I believe TOXINS are the primary cause of aging--drugs, mercury, plastics, etc. I'm sure insulin is way up there in importance, but not as much of a risk as drugs and toxins, and of course radiation.

I'm 53, starting to feel my age, I'm wondering how I can grow 50 to 2000 moles? Any suggestions?
