COW MILK and DHT

[Capone]

I think it’s more to do with animal saturated fats ramping up androgen production and causing inflammation. A relation of mine is lactose intolerant and avoids milk but devours pig meat.. he’s NW7 territory.

I have a vegetarian friend who is NW7, he does eat a lot of cheese and milk products though. I think on an individual basis its about finding out what foods may be causing scalp inflammation, saturated animal fats may well be a culprit. I also find too much smoking and drinking wine are bad for my hair, the latter due to histamine response.

what drinks and foods do you recommend to avoid ?

I actually thought red wine and minoxidil were doing wonders for my hair

Anything that will give you a inflamitory response. It's an individual thing my triggers are dairy, hay fever & red wine. I also have arthtitis so my immune response is off the scale. Others will have undiagnosed wheat allergy etc. I am not saying it's the major cause of baldness but I definitely believe for some it is the a factor.

Yes, I noticed as soon as I eat white flour products I get this tingling itchy feeling right where my hair is thinning. Cheese, milk, pizza are biggies too. I get so hunger though. It’s hard to avoid things.

I haven't had dairy in years. Understand that when most people thing dairy they just think of like, cheese and drinking milk. In the US dairy is in nearly everything. Pretty much every baked good, most breads, buns, many snack foods, many fast food and processed food products. Even if it seems like a food you wouldn't think would have dairy, its can be used as flavoring and such. If dairy did have an effect on hair loss I'd assume it would be because of inflamation. However avoiding dairy could reduce you're vitamin d and vitamin k, a lack of which could actually cause hair loss.

I have had zero dairy products in years and years and I'm still balding.
