I read the thread through on Immigration and its effect on hairloss sufferers.
Ive posted info on pre-WW2 Japan before and how baldness was very rare there before WW2 but much more common now. Asian-American males have baldness rates that almost mirror the general U.S. population as a whole (but is still behind caucasoid males, who bald the most).
Diet, in particular the lack of soy isoflavones, green tea catechins, and the dramatic increase in insulin resistance due to the high glycemic index (white breads, excess sugars and other simple carbs) lessen SEVERELY the amount of Globulin, the sex-binding hormone that carries around testoserone in your blood and tissues so that it cannot be turned into DHT when it meets up with alpha-5 reductase enzymes.
As the western diet lessens globulin in the newcomers.......they too believe it or not, will be experiencing higher rates of baldness. You dont see it much yet, because these folks were raised on traditional diets in their youth and adolescence. But you will. Ive seen a few Mexicans that exhibit something I never thought they suffered from recently......receeding hairlines right at their temples.
Gloubulin, which lessens the avialable amount of skin testosterone, is something we can easily make more of. Caffeine ups it (but not with a sugar laden cola which will just make you more insulin resistant, which the body will make even more testosterone to compensate for). Green tea catechins and soy isoflavones will help you make more globulin. Eating less saturated animal fat will also see your liver synthesize less alpha five reductase enzymes. As with any anti-androgen routine, it takes about a year to see results. It is important that hairloss sufferers do these dietary things because for instance, ........a guy on finasteride locks up his alpha five reductase type two enzyme located in his root sheaths of his follicles, leading to more free unconverted testosterone.......the alpha five type one enzyme is located in his sebocytes and sebaceous glands RIGHT NEXT DOOR to his follicles. DHT is DHT. Excess testosterone just gets converted to DHT in this fashion (and reabsorbed back in the skin) for a fresh attack on his hair. Sort of negating the good effects of finasteride. This is why modifying your diet to a hair healthy one is important. Globulin is your friend if you have male pattern baldness genes.
Unfortunately for a lot-of poor-English skilled newbies in America, web site info like this will be unavailable to them (until they master a new and complicated language) so some of them will no doubt be starting a McDonalds twice a day diet and wondering why in the hell they are receeding at their temples (like Im sure alot of Japanese were in the seventies and eighties) and experiencing more androgen related disorders like prostate problems and acne (have seen that too in a few Mexicans, who I didnt think suffered from it much). Little hint, ......avacodos, a staple of the Mexican diet, has the highest naturally occuring amount of beta sitosterol of any fruit or veggie.
