Earlobe crease

[Capin]

How many of us have this?
My left ear has a crease!

Has this been verified or debunked yet? I've heard this for years. I have a slight hint of a crease. I'm betting it's bullshit, but it would be interesting to know for sure.

Kind of hate to say this, my dad had a big heart attack by the time he was 40, so it's in my blood. On the other hand, his lifestyle at the time was awful.

There is a lot of evidence out there showing a correlation between the two.
My HRT doc actually did his college thesis on this subject and he is convinced it's a sign!

looks like the 'crease' in that picture is a bunch of fat / stretched skin, so maybe if someone has fat ear lobes like that he/she probably has a lot of fat everywhere which is probably from long term poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, which would cause the heart disease not just because there is a 'crease'...pretty useless 'correlation' in my (although probably unqualified) opinion.

I heard it means you're gay, there's a study on PubMed.

The correlation sounds strange but there are studies.

I just looked in the mirror and NO crease! Interesting studies on such an oddity.

Another study shows people over 50% body fat have great odds of developing heart disease or diabetus.
