Men: Save Your Hair

A few years ago, Loren Cordain wrote a paper (unfortunately it's written in German) that suggeted that male pattern baldness could be related to diet.  The theory was that consumptive of high-glycemic carbohydrates altered insulin function and eventually led to hair loss.

Now a new study adds to this idea.  Investigators looked at older Finnish men and their hair staus.  Those with insulin resistance and its related conditions had less hair then those who were healthy. 

Now there's one more reason to pass on those refined carbs: your hair!
