Are buckwheat, oats considered as grains? Are they bad for hair?

[Theodolite]

Dr. Mercola said to avoid grains in order to have hair. Does he mean gluten or grains in general (like buckwheat and oats too)? Is there anybody who could answer this? I eat about 250 g of buckwheat almost daily and have rapid male pattern baldness at the moment. I am wondering if buckwheat is related to this.

I don't know much about buckwheat, but an ideal diet for your whole body inflammatory response, and one that is ultimately good for your hair is actually pretty simple. I do believe inflammation greatly contributes to speeding up Androgenetic Alopecia. There are "pro-inflammatory" carbs and "anti-inflammatory" carbs. The best diets overall obviously consist of the later. imo, reduction in carbs in general is good for the body. The anti-inflammatory carb foods are good for you in a million different ways as well. My diet recently, and the diet that I have felt best with in my entire life consists of lean meats and organic veggies and the occasional fruit. It helps to keep in shape, maintain a healthy blood glucose level and DEFINITELY helps with overall immune response.

Eh, I want to believe in this.. But the truth is that my male pattern baldness accelerated when I switched to healthy, mostly organic food (no gluten, no dairy, no added sugar, no red meat, limited consumption of potatoes). What an unlucky coincidence... I even consume curcumin about 1 tablespoon daily for about a year. It didn't even prevent me from male pattern baldness.

By the way, what is this magical keyword `inflammation`? Can it be measured? I had some C-Reactive Protein tests, they showed almost zero. Does it mean I don't have inflammation everybody is referring to in the forums like this?

Thanks for reply. I guess dr. Mercola was wrong with this, male pattern baldness is more complicated.
