I was thinking spearmint is about the same thing as peppermint. Peppermint is just a hybrid mint plant of both spearmint and watermint. Although peppermint is probably stronger than spearmint. I thought I would use spearmint because of the study, which used spearmint. I do leave the...

I too was interested in the spearmint tea. I started drinking it a few weeks ago. 2 cups a day every day. Strangely I have had increased libido. Why would this be? Maybe it's not the tea? One unfortunate side effect has been a tingling A-hole. I kid you not. Although it's not as bad as it was a...

Interesting, in doing my own research on different cultures with the best hair, I decided that getting your omegas in seemed the most important. That's when I decided that the best thing to eat for a vegan to get balanced omegas would be to eat pumpkin seeds.

Exactly, Asians have the male pattern baldness gene, it's only when they are moved into a different environment that it is triggered. You see it time and time again. You see it in the comparison of rural and urban Japan. This is only observational of course, but quite stunning evidence that environment or diet...

I was fat and balding 4 years ago, now I'm thin and balding. I was fat and balding at 15 years old, thank god it's slow and not falling out in clumps. I've never had a full head of hair. Can you imagine getting your driver's license and having to worry about your receding hairline in the pic?

Yeah, well it looks like the western diet is doing wonders for their waistline, huh? Again, all these fat-guys-with-hair-pics proves is they don't have the male pattern baldness genes. So the western diet can't trigger anything, there's nothing to trigger. These people were probably picked because of their hair...

Weight is easy to lose!? Then why did it take me 4 years to finally get it right? :freaked2:

What about milk, wouldn't that be something you want to avoid too?

The China Study discusses cancer too. I posted the link in my theory post to The China Study book online, click around there til you find it, not all the book can be read online but a good portion of it. It's pretty interesting stuff, might change your mind, don't know. It changed mine. I use to...

I'm going to have to disagree with that. There is some further discussion on this on this post: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/discussions ... &start=120 you may want to check it out.

Re: Great info for the "diet is responsible" peopl I'm trying to comprehend all of this without my head exploding. How are you explaining that diet plays a role, can you put it in more simple terms for retarded people like me?

I just realized that the part about prostate cancer and it being linked to high IGF-1 levels is not posted online. You will have to buy the book, darn.

Ok, but doesn't the risk of prostate cancer increase as well? Does someone who has been castrated develop prostate cancer? No, in fact castration is a treatment for prostate cancer. It's been shown that through diet, eating broccoli and cauliflower that you can dramatically drop your risk of...
