A Study from a Decade Ago Says Green Tea Increases DHT in Mice!

I’ve started to drink green tea for its many benefits, but now i’m finding out in a lab study, it raised DHT levels in mice by 194%. The report is here.

Please set the record straight. Can green tea cause my hairloss to get worse? I drink about 1 cup a night.

I’ve been asked about this at least a couple times before (here, here), but I frankly do not know the answer in humans. The mouse story is told in the reference.

Male pattern baldness (MPB) is related to genetics, not green tea. I doubt that it would cause your hair loss to increase. Enjoy your tea.
