In the News – Early Hair Loss = Higher Prostate Cancer Risk?
Snippet from the article:
Men with prostate cancer may be twice as likely to have started showing signs of male pattern baldness at the age of 20 than those without prostate cancer, a new French study suggests.
Men who start losing their hair in their 30s or 40s do not appear to face a similar boost in prostate cancer risk. And those whose hair loss starts in their 20s do not face a higher risk of developing the cancer at an early age or of developing more aggressive tumors, the research team noted.
Whether or not men who experience youthful hair loss may benefit from prostate cancer screening is yet to be determined, the study authors added.

Researchers say it is too early to conclude that hair loss and prostate cancer are definitively linked, but they do point out that of the 388 men with prostate cancer enrolled in the study, statistics showed any form of hair loss at age 20 was linked to a doubling of prostate cancer risk.
I’ve read tomato’s and broccoli when consumed together are a one-two knockout punch for preventing/slowing down prostate cancer. Perhaps they can slow down mpb?
There has been news of Soy Isoflavones dramatically lowering DHT in rats. I wonder if it would apply to humans?
That is such terrible news. I feel very scary. Now this is the time to take care. I want some solution to avoid it.
