Zinc - Good or Bad?

[bombscience]

I've done some reading lately and I hear opposing views on Zinc's role in hairloss. The question isn't whether Zinc is good for you or not. I've read that zinc is actually a negative factor towards hairloss.

Here is a positive comment:

here is a negative one:

Anyone have the final word on this issue?

Here is a link where you can read the abstract of 4 studies involving zinc in hairloss treatment.

It seems, after reading from those websites and other studies, that zinc seems to be more helpful than harmful. I could not find the reading from the folligen website, although I believe I have read it before.
