body pH

[mj9]

Has anyone had thier body pH measured (urine test etc)? Can an acidic body pH be accelerating hair loss in men genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness?

Do people on this forum eat a lot of acidic foods?

From what I understand, it is damn near impossible to change your body's PH. Most bodily chemical reactions require a stable PH. If drinking a ton of orange juice could make you acidic, we'd all be shriveled up by now. This is a case of pseudoscience.

its a lot more complex than that (and its slight changes of pH)... also drinking orange juice actually has an alkaline effect on the body...

the reason i think this might be relevant is because it shows that protein foods (meat, eggs etc) have an acidic effect on the body which may increase the hairloss process in men genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness...

think about all the processed foods people eat these days - they all(?) have acidic effects on the body and thats why you see so many young people going bald these days...

p.s. i am not saying it causes male pattern baldness but increases the rate at which hair becomes DHT sensitive (also i dont have any scientific data to back this up but i think it is a very logical theory)

anyone agree/disagree or see any flaws?

I can't pin point exactly what it is, but i definitely think you have a case. Environmental factors, the food we eat in the west, preservatives, sugar, etc... people just seem to go balder earlier these days.
