(National-NBC) January 23, 2007 - Coffee and other caffeinated beverages could be key in curing baldness. German researchers say caffeine blocks a chemical known to damage hair follicles.Unfortunately, downing a cup or even two probably won't do much good. Researchers say the average male would need at least 60 cups of coffee to equal the amount of caffeine needed to produce a result.The study was led by researchers at the University of Jena in Germany and published in the International Journal of Dermatology, January 2007.
Sponsored by Starbucks?
BTW, as a reminder for those concerned about follicular challenges and coffee: these 60 cups are merely 56 more than the amount you're already drinking each day to avoid alcohol-related liver damage (3 drinks + 4 cups of coffee = no cirrhosis. Voila!)
