Whatever next they link baldness to cancer and now heart disease.....loosing our hair seems to make us more susceptible to everthing even being hit by a bus imo.

Just read this:-


A man €™s fear of losing his hair was often thought of as vanity; looks can be as important to men as they are to women. Now research is beginning to see a medical connection. According to an article published today, male baldness may be linked to the risk of heart disease. €œAccording to researchers in Japan, men whose full head of hair is beginning to thin are more likely to have heart problems. In fact, balding men are 32 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease. Researchers at the University of Tokyo looked at years of previous research of 37,000 people to examine the link between hair loss and heart problems. €

Furthermore, the researchers found that the loss of hair at the crown had a higher risk for coronary heart disease. Men who simply had a receding hair line had a lesser risk for heart disease.

the article goes on to say, €œThere are hypotheses about increased sensitivity to male hormones, insulin resistance and inflammation in blood vessels for the correlation between hair loss and heart disease. However, the reasons are still uncertain.
