Doctor warns common drink could cause hair loss and how to prevent it from happening

A team from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China , decided to conduct a study to look at the link between soda and male pattern hair loss (MPHL).

While there are multiple factors that contribute to MPHL, the study found that Western diets, which prominently feature the consumption of added sugars, may trigger polyol pathways, thus leading to hair loss.

Dr Susan Massick, associate professor of dermatology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has cautioned against sweeping conclusions following these results, according to a Healthline report.
