If coffee cures baldness, then I should look like Bigfoot by now.......

Let me guess coffee ground therapy available at your nearest Starbucks. Price: $225 for a 5 minute follicle stimulating session.

If coffee cures baldness, then I should look like Bigfoot by now.......Maybe so, but do you really drink the required 60-80 cups per day?

According to an expert-cosmetologist Adolf Klenka, "one would need to consume 60-80 cups of coffee per day for the caffeine to reach hair follicles." Okay, I'm covered.

German medics arrived at the conclusion that consumption of large caffeine doses prevents baldness. No it doesn't. Been there. Done that. Bald.

It's not that caffeine grows hair, it's that all the shaking makes it look like you have more hair.

The OldEagle is pretty much a bald eagle and I have been drinking way too much coffee for the last fifty years.
Maybe it didn't work back then?

actually I believe it is dihydrous-testosterone... which is not the same thing. A specific form of zinc is required to convert it to a useful form of testosterone... which ENHANCES hair growth and sex drive, the competitive edge and so on.
Testosterone does NOT cause baldness, or the massive levels of it in young males would have all males bald at 13-16 years of age. Testosterone DECREASES as men age, and grow bald... it doesn't increase.
baldness is known to be largely genetically driven... and there are treatments for it that are effective. I have had several friends that use something called kevis or tevis(???), and it has helped them considerably.
baldness does not run in men in my family, even at 75 years of age... but the idea the coffee could cure baldness...
ridiculous.
EVERY bald man I have ever known, has been an addict level java junkie.

The OldEagle is pretty much a bald eagle and I have been drinking way too much coffee for the last fifty yearsI probably averaged 30 cups a day for last 50 + years with no help. Maybe the 2 pack a day of Camels counter-acted the caffeine....

And here I have been drinking it instead of putting it on my head

You have a monthly performance review? Yearly is bad enough.

Well... there might be something. I drink coffee on a daily basis and unlike my father and uncles from both sides I am NOT balding. Of course, I could have always picked the genes of my maternal grandfather who wasn't bald at all.

The gene for baldness comes from the maternal side...so it indeed comes from your maternal grandfather...lucky you!
