Research has previously suggested people who drink at least one sugary drink a day are at higher risk of suffering male pattern hair loss.
One study by Chinese researchers in 2023 found that younger men who consumed sweet drinks seven times a week had more than triple the chance of having hair loss than men who didn't consume them.
In the fresh research, scientists found that across the studies analysed sugary drinks impacted hair density, growth, thickness, shine, and hair loss.
In one study in particular, those drinking more than 3500ml per week—roughly 11 cans—were more likely to suffer the condition, particularly men, researchers found.
From Stanley Tucci to Terry Crews, some men have made baldness their signature style.
But if you're not so keen to say goodbye to those luscious locks, medics say you may want to avoid one type of popular drink.
Portuguese researchers found people who regularly consume sodas and fizzy drinks could dramatically raise their risk of hair loss.
But maintaining a good level of vitamin D could help prevent against alopecia, hair loss from any part of the body, the review of 17 studies also discovered.
Writing in the journal Nutrition and Health, the scientists said: 'Diet and nutrition plays a crucial role in hair health.
'In particular vitamin D and iron supplementation, while limiting alcohol and soft drinks may be beneficial.'
However, they cautioned the findings did not prove sodas and fizzy soft drinks causes hair loss.
Further studies instead are needed, to determine exactly what may trigger the effect, they noted.

I read that Black Rice Water promotes hair growth.
As used by French women to treat their armpits.
I assume it attacks both sexes equally, or is it more of a problem with men predominately?
It’s mostly genetics, though.
Check out a bald man’s sons. They’re more likely to be bald like dad than a father with a full mop.
Every time we go out they ask me if I want something to drink. I always say no but then they bring water. I don’t drink the water. The exception is when I go to a brewery. Of course I consider beer to be food. The other thing is I don’t drink with a straw unless I’m in a car or fruit smoothies or milkshakes. And generally speaking I don’t drink sugar soda ever. Cider, seltzer or beer. Fresca with a splash of fruit juice or diet A&W.
>> “experts say ...”, is it?
No back talk outta you, shaddup and trust the damned science!
Our grant proposal writers work their heinies off for you, you know.

It’s his wife’s fault. Funerals (or, as we like to call them, “family reunions”) of my mom’s side relatives are interesting. We cousins remember each other at ten years old, when we all had crew cuts. Now, we wish we could scrape enough together to make a proper crew cut...
Maybe some doctor can transplant palm hair to the bald scalp?
Sean Connery. Such a hottie, with or without the hairpiece.
Yes, I know he’s dead now. And I was so disappointed to learn he was a leftist.
Yeah, you’re right. I left out Mom’s bald daddy and brothers!
“Further studies instead are needed, to determine exactly what may trigger the effect, they noted”. I was pretty much bald by the time I was 25. I personally blame beer and global warming.
One study by Chinese researchers in 2023 …😂😂🤣🤣😷😷🤡🤡
That's what I've heard. If you want to know if you're going to go bald later, look at your uncles on your Mom's side. I was doomed from the get-go, because MPB runs on both sides of my family.
Too late for me, but one thing I've heard if MPB runs in your family, it's a good idea to not wash your hair with shampoo every day. Apparently, it dries out your hair follicles and causes you to loose hair faster. I've seen one person who practiced that and in his case it seemed to work.

Where were you with that advice when I needed it forty years ago??!? ROFL!
Yeah, I wish I knew that 40 years ago too. That's what I get for being so vain about my hair back in the day.
i thought it was genetic
My baldness is due to heredity.
I drink a lot of soda every day, week, year.
Glad I got the hair transplant....
