And then they keep perpetuating this because someone else writes an article about it and they look at that website, accept it as fact. And then there’s another article on another website and it just keeps multiplying. Unfortunately, Brightside has fallen prey to the misinformation that’s going on out there.” (03:44) (Dr. Brian) “Studies back up that darker eyes – brown-colored eyes for example – people tend to have better reaction times than people with blue eyes.” (04:46) (Dr. Brian) “So, if you have blue eyes, great. If you have brown eyes, great. If you have any other color eyes, great. But just know that your color eye does not make you any more or less attractive.” (07:09) (Dr. Brian) “People who have blue or green or grey colored eyes have an increased risk of getting melanoma. Also, people with blue eyes and light skin have an increased risk of getting Type One Diabetes.” (10:07) (Dr. Brian) “People with brown eyes have less risk of losing their hearing.” (10:39) (Dr. Brian) “If you ever notice that you ever develop a little whitish or yellow ring around the edge of your pupil, that is correlated with increased cholesterol. So that’s a good reason to ask your doctor if you start to notice that in yourself or someone else.” (14:22) (Dr. Brian) Links Mentioned https://www.boxerwachler.com/ (Dr. Brian’s Website) https://www.tiktok.com/@brianboxerwachlermd (Dr. Brian’s TikTok) https://www.instagram.com/drboxerwachler/ (Dr. Brian’s Instagram)   Please remember, Dr. Brian is a doctor, but he is not your doctor.
