Hi, I know this subject has been discussed to death in the past but wanted some Doc's input on it.

Can whey protein shakes accelerate hair loss in those who are genetically destined to go bald?

I found this on One HT Doc's website (not a coalition member): http://www.drshapiroshairinsti...tion/nutritional.php

After reading it I'm a bit confused......

Ahhhh yes, Larry Shapiro....Public Hack #1...I was reading through the page in the link and thinking "what kind of damn fool is writing this refried donkeycrap".

I'm only a doctor in my dreams and at crowded bars with lots of girls, but you don't have to worry about your protein shakes/creatine/etc.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Whey protein will not cause hair loss

I know this may sound weird, but I thought that whey protein was doing something, so I tested this (it could all be by coincidence)

2005 on whey ==> this is where I started noticing the thinning
2006 off whey ==> hair looked better
2007 on whey ==> noticed hair loss was worse
2008 off whey ==> hair looked better overall
2009 on whey ==> hair is looking bad again

I guess I can try it again in 2010

it's completely un-scientific, but I micro-manage my hair and I would notice certain correlations....I know my hair best...

There was a point years ago when I was lifting weights regularly and trying to bulk up. I started eating lots of protein bars and consuming protein shakes a couple of times a day. I can tell you that I noticed a huge shed around this time. I have nothing other than correlative evidence of protein relating to my hair loss, but I did notice the shedding stopped shortly after I cooled it with the protein supplements.

Thanks for all your help guys!! I think for the time being I'm going to steer clear of protein shakes just in case.

Does anyone have any ideas for what I can have post workout as a fast source of protein (other than protein shakes)?

It's funny how there are a lot of folks here that see the correlation between whey protein and shedding.

While there isn't any scientific evidence of this, the coincidences cannot be overlooked

splitting hairs, once you're off the protein, come back to us later down the road and let us know what you "discover"...
