What Researchers Found
The discussion gained additional attention following research conducted by scientists at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
The researchers investigated possible links between sugar-sweetened beverages and male pattern hair loss (MPHL), one of the most common forms of hair loss in men.
Their findings suggested that Western-style diets rich in added sugars may influence biological pathways associated with hair health.
The researchers noted that excessive sugar consumption could potentially play a role alongside other known factors linked to hair loss.
But There’s an Important Catch
Not all experts agree that soft drinks directly cause hair loss.
