Good news for men going bald. A new study has found that men who go bald by 30 are less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Experts believe that men with high levels of testosterone are more likely to lose their hair, especially if baldness runs in the family.
Prostate cancer sufferers are often given drugs to reduce testosterone levels because they can accelerate the growth of some tumours once they develop.
But this study suggests that high levels of testosterone from a young age might protect against the disease.
