CURE FOR THE CHROME DOME

Sometimes a story comes along in the news that is just too good to let go by. Here is one that we found in the internet version of Prepared Foods Magazine.

Coffee’ll Put Hair on Your Chest

Caffeine products can stop men from going bald, according to a German study.

Prof. Peter Elsner, part of the team at the Jena University, said that the stimulant has the most effect on men whose hair roots were very sensitive to testosterone, one of the causes of hair loss.

For the maximum effect, though, consumers will have to love their coffee. Noticeable effects would require 60 to 80 cups of coffee a day, one expert said. Of course, there is another option, according to researchers: smear caffeine products directly onto the scalp.

Sixty to eighty cups of coffee a day?? A day?? Gott in Himmel! Can you image anyone consuming that much caffeine? The person would probaby vibrate so fast that he would be invisible!

And as for rubbing coffe directly on one’s head? No thanks. We’ll just take a pass on that one.
