Your soda could be making you bald
The everyday drink that could be leading to hair loss
- A new analysis of research suggests a link between consuming sugary beverages and an increased risk of hair loss.
- Researchers from Portugal’s Universidade do Porto found that diet and nutrition, including limiting soft drinks, play a crucial role in hair health.
- Previous findings indicated that consuming 11 cans or more of sugary drinks weekly could increase the risk of male pattern hair loss in young men.
- The connection may be due to inflammation or excess sebum production caused by processed foods and simple sugars, leading to scalp irritation.
- The analysis also highlighted that higher levels of vitamin D and iron, along with protein intake and soy products, were associated with improved hair parameters.
