Find Mormons Through Their Glowing Skin

This one surprised readers as much as the psychologists testing it. Psychologists at Tufts University and the University of Toronto tested the “Mormon glow,” or the ability to locate a Mormon based on a “halo effect.” When the researchers showed judges photos of faces, the judges pinpointed the Mormons 60% of the time.

Researchers believe that the judges were subconsciously looking for healthy skin. Since Mormons don’t drink or smoke, and live ten years longer than most other people, they tend to have more youthful skin. According to the researchers, this manifests as a “glow.”
