According to Dr. Wong, high estrogen is a major factor behind balding because the body easily converts estrogen into DHT--the hairloss hormone. Dr. Wong says the following foods should be eliminated from your diet due to high estrogen levels.

SOY - soybeans are very very high in estrogen
Flax - same, high in estrogen
Licorice (the herb)

and read his article in the mens section "The real reason men lose their hair." I think either within that article or his article "Soy, the Poison Seed" he lists foods and their estrogen content.

I also recently read something--I think it was by Dr. Mercola, that coffee increases estrogen levels (it's the caffiene I believe) so we should all be drinking organic decaf instead.

I have heard too much Vitamin A over time can cause a hair loss situation. I would shoot not to get any more that the RDA, or take the beta carotene form where your body will only convert the proper amount into Vit A and expel the rest.

That's what I know. Good question.

Don't use your microwave for either cooking or thawing out food. For that reason you can't trust most fast food.

Mercury fillings will kill your hair as well. Look into the Huggins clinic to have them removed properly.

Macca helps keep what hair you have.

Sorry for not providing links, but that's what helps.
