baldness (was Re: Mercola)

[Guest guest]

Hi

I remember Mercola saying in one of his letters that

the reason he is bald is because he didn't follow the

metabolic typing diet and a no grain/no refined carbs

when he was younger. He said it's too late for his

hair to come back now.

Whether this is true or not, he believes it is!

José,

Let's face it: If Mercola could cure his own baldness, he'd be selling

hair tonics by now, right? Hee hee hee.

## Well, I often heard people say that the more testosterone you

have, the proner you are to get bald, but I don't know how much truth

there is in it. Here in Brazil we have a very old Carnival song,

still a hit in the balls, that says: 'É dos carecas que elas gostam

mais'. The meaning is: " Women like bald men best. "

## Let us now call on the ladies to speak, shall we?

I didn't marry until I was in my late thirties and from my experience I

would have to say that bald men with a lot of body hair seem to have the

most, well, testosterone..

Just my 2 cents...
