Friday Fun Facts

My Oh My...look at those baby blues! 


Did you know...
that almost all babies are born with blue eyes & within a few moments
of delivery their eye color can change. 

Why?
... it's because the melanin, which is the the brown pigment molecule
that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hadn't been fully
deposited in the irises of your eyes.
The melanin reacts when it is exposed to ultraviolet light.
Eyes that remain light have less melinin...
the darker the eyes the more the melinin.

Lo sapevi che …

che quasi tutti i bambini nascono con gli occhi azzurri e in poco tempo il loro colore può cambiare?
Perché?
... è perché la melanina, che è la molecola di pigmento bruno che dà il colore alla pelle, ai capelli e agli occhi, non si è definitivamente depositato sull’ iridie dell’occhio. La melanina reagisce quando viene esposta alla luce ultravioletta.
Occhi che restano chiari hanno meno melamina ...
gli occhi scuri hanno più melinina.
