Baldness is determined by genetics, not test levels. If a guy's genes do not predispose him to baldness, you can pump 3g of test per week into him and he won't lose his hair.

Where did the link about T levels and hair loss come from?

Why does T make some people lose hair?

I am seriously going epically bald epically fast - I dontcare much but obviously if i had choice i would elect to keep my hair.

What about body hair? Is it purely genetic as well?

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #9 on:** August 05, 2009, 06:40:53 PM »

Testosterone is converted to another hormone called DHT which gives zits, baldening head, etc. How much testosterone turning into DHT have alot to do with genetics. So a person with rather low test levels might having alot of it turn into DHT while another person with high test levels might be the opposite. One could make the argument however that higher test levels = higher DHT levels overall, but that does´nt have to be the case.

Body hair is the same as well. There are factors, both internal and external that can trigger growth or fall of hair, like hormonal imbalances or chemotherapy, but if they are addressed / rectified, you revert back to the default state your genetics dictate - ranging from guys who go bald by around 22 to people who still have a full head of hair well into their 80s or 90s.

URSUS EATING MEAT CAUSES YOUR HAIRLINE TO RECEDE YA BIG BONER

Marty Champions · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2009, 07:09:15 PM »

eating meat causes your body working harder to digest it than anyother food

240 is Back · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2009, 07:10:00 PM »

JF,

can you post your daily diet? I'm tiring of meat, but without it I think i'll be a little hungry all day.

So every guy who eats meat has a receding hairline or is bald? I don't think so.

coffee
some skim milk in the morning too or anytime to help move the bowels, i dont like the whole
few servings of flax seed
bean burrito with cheese in big tortilla=very filling 1-3 a day
some sort of crackers, chips or popcorn= for energy
watermelon, cantelope black grapesand any kind of fruit when i want it
icecream cones "drumsticks" also kinda help to move the bowels and repair the body
peanutbutter sandwich if im craving it
and plenty of water throughout the day

not petite men who do eat meat=body always taking a break and not firing up there metabolism constantly like bigger guys. bigger guys with huge rancid metabolisms tend to be more bald

this is just conjecture........but i have been around the gear scene for a long time........it always appeared to me, the best responders to anabolics, were the ones who went bald early from it..............i dont know how their physiology might work, or if they have a more efficient converstion, and that is where the DHT cones from, but yeah, ronnie, nasser, flex wheeler, palumbo, shawn ray...........alot fo the guys who go bald early from juice seem to be hyperresponders
