Podcast: Earlobe Crease and Heart Attacks: Fact or Fiction?

What does it mean if you have lines in your earlobes? Episode 22 of Joe Cannon podcast we discuss the connection between having a diagonal crease in your earlobes and your risk of heart disease and heart attacks. Various studies have noted a link between having lines in your earlobes and heart disease. But are they true and if yes, why? What if its both earlobes or just one?
