Dr. Mercola on insulin resistance and baldness

http://www.mercola.com/2003/feb/8/flutamide.htm The Doctor's opinion is in the second part of the article. Dont always agree with this guy though.

http://www.endotext.org/male/male18/male18.htm That is a much better article that elaborates on insulin and male balding. Interesting stuff. Anybody read similar info on this and have opinions?

maybe someone should e-mail Dr. Mercola and ask him if his hair loss has stopped since elminating grains from his diet? (don't ask me though cause i'm a coward)

Mercola's a quack. There probably is a link between insulin resistance and hairloss, but eliminating grains isn't likely to do anything noticeable to your hair.

eliminating grain wont really do that much. watching the glycemic index of stuff would go far further if one is trying to avoid insulin resistance syndrome. glucose control problems run in my family and following a diet designed to control glucose levels and thereby control inflammation also, has done wonders for my libido. hair improvements? i could report back in 6 months maybe but its less oily if that means anything
