How To Find A Liar

How to find... A Liar The story of Pinocchio may not be entirely mythical. When someone is lying, the cells lining the inside of the nose swell and release histamine, which causes itching. As a result, liars are more likely to touch and/or scratch their noses, say's Alan Hirsch, MD, founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, who has studied this Pinocchio effect. Other lying tip-off's include leaning forward ("liar's lean") and using words such as would not or could not rather that wouldn't or couldn't for extra emphasis ("expansion of contrition").
