hair-tomorrow, I swear I saw an Indian ayurvedic website which recommends eating dairy for slowing male pattern baldness.
I wouldn't doubt it. For years we were taught that dairy (milk, cheese, whatever) - was essential for heathy growth. In the last 10 - 12 years though - dairy's gotten a really bad rap and blamed with everything from autism to chronic ear infections in children.
I think (not that I'm a dietician or anything) that 1 dairy problem these days is the high animal fat content - which is why I always use the 2% milk instead of whole milk.
Another problem is the new "feed" the cows are getting these days - which also contriobutes to a change in the dairy by-products.
One day it's good for you - next day you hear it's loaded w/ toxic carcinogens. Can't friggin' win.
