Quote " "What we have discovered is testosterone has a negative effect on hair loss ... the testosterone makes the energy in each hair follicle run out sooner, so the more testosterone a person has the sooner they will burn out of their energy and the hair will drop out sooner," the spokesman said.

No Shit Sherlock. Ahh i see its Alpecin they sell shampoos which doesnt work :-) and now with more and more "cures" they become very sensitive because no one will buy their shampoos anymore
