Does Beta Sitosterol Regrow Hair?

I assumed it was obvious from the context that we were referring to the use of topical fatty acids as 5a-reductase inhibitors, not anything having to do with the alleged effects on inflammation.

taking the thread off topic...

tell me more about inflammation. Is excess ALA the main cause, or are there other biggies we should know about? I avoid soda, hydrogenated foods, and other junk food.

I would be doing a disservice to the book “Inflammation Nationâ€￾ if I did not recommend it. The book goes into omega3 to 6 ratios. It also discusses things like why farmed fish are bad for you and how we as humans are creating unhealthy things to eat.

Pretty much anything you buy at the supermarket is farmed. Go to a natural foods market, that's your best bet. If the package says injected with color (may only apply to salmon), it's farmed fish.

CCS - Any fish that is "deep water" should be safe. I cannot make an absolute statement as many companies practice misleading advertisements.

Try a "Whole Foods" or "Trader Joe's". Those places will have these things marked as these types of products are their niche.
