if your blood is really low on iron, can it affect hairloss some how... just a question, NOTE: in this tread i'm not stating that iron can be the reason for hairloss, just to know if it could be bad having low iron and could make male pattern baldness progress faster.

Yeah- but your deficiency would have to be pretty chronic. If you eat normally this would never happen.

low iron is related to hair loss. It's not true that "f you eat normally this would never happen." Some people cannot absorb iron like everybody else, so even if they eat lots of iron sources they can still be quite deficient. But generally speaking, i think the average diet probably provides enough iron that you wouldn't be deficient enough to be losing your hair.
