While women will (comparatively) rarely go completely bald, they have the same problems with thinning hair as men do... and diet (from nutrient deficiency to excess - esp. vitamin A + D) are primary drivers of hair loss in both, men and women; and that despite the fact that deficiencies of both retinol and 25OHD contribute to hair loss, too ( Rushton 2002 ; Guo 2017 ). I've written extensively about "conventional alternative" treatments (alternative = avoiding 5-AR inhibitors that block the conversion to DHT and not paying for a transplant) roughly a year ago in "Hair Loss: Finasteride, Laser Light or Minoxidil - What Will Really Help Men & Women Regrow Lost Scalp Hair?" ( re-read it ). In view of the fact that this is still one of the more popular articles and considering the interest many of you showed in a recent Facebook post of mine that included the list of nutrient deficiencies, ailments, and behaviors that may cause hair loss ( Table 1 ) on F...

Still throwing away the yolks? Bad idea... even your gains would benefit from the very part of the egg where most of the nutritional value is hidden. You will have read it in the Facebook News  already (if you didn't subscribe, yet, I can only recommend you head over to facebook.com/suppversity right away): whole eggs build more muscle than egg whites. If that's true, generations of bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have literally  thrown away their gains by separating and trashing the yolks of their beloved (? how one can love egg-whites, only is beyond me, anyway ?) egg- whites . In view of the fact that eggs have always been one of  SuppVersity Readers' Favorites  I thought: why shall I stick to only one egg study? Let's check out what else the egg-o-logy has to offer, these days... Whole eggs are also an excellent source of dietary protein Yolk: Triglyceride & LDL ↓, HDL ↑ Eggs Boost Vit Uptake 3-4-fold Egg-o-logy - All About Eggs Eg...

Three Eggs a Day = Doping for Your Heart Health: Larger LDL & HDL, Increased Efflux and Transport + More Benefits

Written by | published on

Don't miss out on a long-neglected superfood. With the latest study from the University of Connecticut  the evidence of beneficial (heart-)health effects of increased egg consumption keep accumulating - and this time, we are up to three eggs per day in healthy subjects. The latest study from the  University of Connecticut  adds to the previously discussed health benefits of eggs . Starting with the important and scientifically warranted premise that HDL function may be more important than HDL concentration in determining risk for cardiovascular disease, the authors Diana M DiMarco, Gregory H Norris, Courtney L Millar, Christopher N Blesso, and Maria Luz Fernandez conducted a study to confirm and quantify the previously observed increases in HDL and LDL particle size, LCATactivity, and plasma apoAII and carotenoid concentrations in unhealthy populations, in a group of 40 men and women 40 men and women [age 18–30 y, BMI (in kg/m²) 18.5–29.9] who were - hopefully just li...

3-4 Egg Yolks per Day May Normalize Your Lipids, Reduce Liver & Abdominal Fat as Well as Your CVD & NAFLD Risk

Three whole eggs deliver the most effec-tive "dose" of  egg yolk to improve your blood lipid levels - more specifically: triglycerides ↓ and LDL ↓ but HDL ↑ Because of their cholesterol content, eggs have long been touted as a driver of heart disease. As a SuppVersity  reader, you know that there are multiple reasons  why the notion that the consumption of eggs, or rather egg yolks, would increase your cardiovascular disease risk: (a) there's no mechanistic "if your cholesterol is high, your CVD risk is also high"-link; (b) a causative link between the consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol does not exist - at least not in the majority of people; (c) substances in egg yolks, in particular, have been shown to modulate the physical characteristics of your lipoproteins ( learn more ) and will thus lower, not increase your CVD risk. Since you know all that, it may seem less important for you than your doctor and other people who may stil...
