Is hair loss really hereditary/genetic?

The skyrocketing numbers of incidents of hair loss in the West, the failure to identify the gene (s) supposedly responsible for hair loss, and new research that links hair loss with many diseases predominately caused by poor diet and lifestyle, incites one to look for preventative natural solutions to hair loss.

It is commonly acknowledged that hair loss is much more prevalent in westernized countries affecting about 80 million American men and women. It has also been noticed that the resistance to hair loss of many national groups diminishes after they migrate to the West or are exposed to modern western diet and lifestyle.

With human genome fully mapped the gene or genes supposedly responsible for hair loss have not been identified. Furthermore, research focused on finding the pattern of genetic hair loss in the family has been inconclusive. It is a well-documented fact that the most commonly occurring type of hair loss among both men and women called Pattern Baldness does not develop without the hormone DHT. So, even if the “bald geneâ€￾ does exist, one still needs the hormone DHT to acquire this type of hair loss. Furthermore, studies have shown that a decrease in levels of DHT in the bloodstream can halt and even reverse the progression of hair loss. Lastly, the new research has revealed that modern diet can contribute to increased levels of the hormone DHT-the root-cause of the most prevalent type of hair loss in the world. The conclusion is obvious. The avoidance of the modern diet should decrease levels of the hormone DHT, and by the same token, prevent and reverse baldness.

And yet, it doesn't. Theory disproven.

knowledge just doesnt come out of peoples asses, id like to see the studies that determined it was genetic, they may be flawed. Until you see the well conducted study, treat this claim as any other, pure mythology. although it may be true, anything may be true, my cat could be god for all i know, we can claim anything to be true but does that make it true, not even slightly. Perhaps all we can say is that it seems to be genetic, as there is a correlation with genetics, but perhaps thats all anyone knows.

The fact this it is a popular veiw in no way ensures its truthfullness.

Tell that to generations of bald men and generations of hairy men.
