    Lightbulb Dietary Influences on Hair - Carlos K. Wesley, M.D.

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

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

    Soy milk is a product, not a real food. Always be careful taking products.

    I question how someone can reliably figure out that genes account for 14% when no one knows how many or what genes are involved in MPB. Must be some amazing math they used there. I also question why if most men start with diet changes why so many bald men are still around if diet can control MPB to any meaningful degree? I would assume men have been trying that the last few centuries. Or is diet simply used to plug the hole in the large gaps of current MPB knowledge? If you dont understand the root causes you can easily look at stats and find possible false relationships where there are none. Maybe its not here, but it happens a lot in medicine.
    Anyhow yeah I guess this is something to try.

    Beans in general is good to put in your whole food diet, as you mentioned rich in isoflavones and iron, calcium, omega 3 etc..
    Green beans has also a good amount of the hyped vitamin K.

    True, itīs always better with reel food, so that your body understands what you actually put in your system.
