Sweet Drinks & Hair Loss: The Shocking Connection
One in four men in Hong Kong struggle with hair loss, but did you know that sweet drinks could make it worse? A recent study found that drinking sweet drinks regularly increases the risk of hair loss by 42%. Don't let your sweet tooth sabotage your hair health! Find out what you can do if you're suffering from androgenic hair loss.
The research team, from Tsinghua University in Beijing, examined self-reported health data, including lifestyle habits and hair loss, of more than 1,000 Chinese men aged 18 to 45 years between January and April 2022.
Studies have found that people who drink up to one sugary drink per day (e.g. soft drinks, fruit juices, energy drinks, sports drinks, sweetened coffee or tea) at a rate of 1,000 to 3,000ml per week are almost 30% more likely to lose their hair than the general population.
Those who drink more than one sugary drink per day, accumulating nearly 1 US gallon (3.785 litres) or more per week, have a 42% higher rate of hair loss than those who do not drink sweet drinks!
In addition, the researchers found that men with hair loss drank an average of 12 sugary drinks per week, while those without hair loss drank about seven sugary drinks, demonstrating a strong association between sweet drinks and hair loss.
A recent study found that 57.6% of hair loss among participants was androgenic. But sweet drinks aren't the only culprit - other factors like age, smoking, lack of exercise and sleep, a love of fried food, hair dyeing or perm, and family history also play a role.
Why does sweet drinking cause hair loss?
Researchers estimate that a diet high in sugar raises blood sugar levels and stimulates the body to convert glucose into its sugars, resulting in less nutrients being available to the hair follicles and causing the body to accumulate fat, which increases the risk of hair loss.
Although there's no direct link between a high sugar diet and male hair loss, nutritionists say that hair loss is a result of overall nutrient absorption. A sweet tooth or a love of spicy foods can reduce the intake of important hair nutrients like protein, iron, and vitamins A and C. Sugar can also destroy collagen in the skin, making the scalp age faster.
What should I do about male pattern baldness?
Androgenic alopecia is the metabolic production of the male hormone DHT, which attacks the hair follicles of the scalp, affecting hair protein synthesis and causing hair loss. If you are an androgenic alopecia sufferer and have a sweet tooth, the first thing you need to do is to cut back on sweets and sweet drinks to avoid further disruption to protein synthesis.
As your body and scalp are chronically deprived of nutrients, hair loss is accelerated. By making a few simple changes to your lifestyle, you can give your hair the boost it needs to grow strong and healthy. Start with a balanced diet filled with essential nutrients for your hair, like protein and iron. Avoid unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, and indulging in spicy and fried foods. And, if you really want to give your hair the ultimate pampering, consider a hair treatment that cleanses your scalp and infuses it with the nutrients it needs to thrive.
