Trans-Fats and Baldness?

[wookster]

I found these statements in an online article:

http://www.immortalhair.homestead.com/f ... s_Book.htm

People’s dietary fat intake good or bad, has pronounced effects on the presence of androgens.

Cultures and regions of people, who consume fats that have been hydrogenated often, have less hair than those that eat whole-unprocessed foods do. Good fats or essential fats are often removed from shelf products to prevent spoilage, while the fats that are present in processed foods are converted to a harmful trans-fat form.

The levels of dihydrotestosterone are higher in people who eat an abundance of hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats. Red meat, processed convenient foods, pastries and margarine increase levels of testosterone in the body. A healthy intake of essential fatty acids that come from plants, whole grains and fish can prevent the malevolent effects of trans-fats on hormone reactions.

Are there any reputable medical studies confirming that trans fats increase DHT levels and consequently, baldness?

good question? i am sure in some individuals, higher dht levels can worsen / increase / initiate hairloss, if you already have the genes to begin with... we know that higher dht does not necessarily correlate with male pattern baldness
