On Whey Protein Isolate - hair loss??????

Hi,

I just came across Dr. Shapiro's investigations on Whey Isolate protein. he has linked it to hair loss. It gives more DHT and causes hair loss. He however say's Whey concentrate is good for hair.

I too recently had lot of hair fall. I was having Optimum nutrition's (Gold) whey protein powder . After reading I was horrified, as I am partially bald now and dont want lose any more hair. this I have thrown all the remaining powder and I want to to buy Whey Concentrate powder. I searched but I found most of the branded powders have Isolate and Concentrate mix.

Where can I find Whey Concentrate? Can anyone suggest me any shop in Dublin, the brand name, product name or giv eme any web references.

Also what do you thing about this claim?

Thanks,

Atwal

I thought it was a windup, since the OP says he threw it all out and then wonders if it is still OK after.

Lol can't believe you threw out the ON, its mostly concentrate anyways. Even if this weird doctor was correct ON would at least balance out the problem (which doesn't exist).
