Does it really take more muscles to frown than to smile?

They say it takes 43 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile (the numbers may vary, depending on the report). Some have attempted to prove the theory one way or another. I recently read an argument to this that says it takes 12 muscles to smile and only 11 to frown.
What do you think?

I tend to agree with this statement. Look at those people who are frowning most of the time. You will find that they age faster than those who smile a lot. Feel yourself if you frown, it does feel heavy on the face and in the heart. Feel it as you flash a smile, the face feels light and the heavy load in the heart fades because the heart lights up in coordination with the happy face.
