Does Diet Impact Hair Loss?

This hair loss article was written by Coalition [tag]hair restoration[/tag] physician Dr. Carlos Wesley:

Reportedly, genes contribute less than 14% of explained variation in [tag]androgenetic alopecia[/tag] ([tag]AGA[/tag]) [Richards, et. al]. Since dietary changes may be the simplest starting point to preventing [tag]hair loss[/tag], this investigative study might be of interest to many of you.

Studying 354 men (ages 35-65), researchers found that frequent soybean drink consumption proved slightly protective against moderate to severe [tag]male pattern baldness[/tag] ([tag]MPB[/tag]). Rich in isoflavones (leading to increased antioxidant levels) soy consumption demonstrated some protection against genetic [tag]balding[/tag].
