NEWS ROUNDUP

Thinning hair linked to sugar consumption 
“A rapid glucose spike in the blood causes an overreaction by several hormones, most notably insulin and steroids. The result is a roller coaster of sugar peaks and valleys; that is abnormal high and low levels of glucose, insulin, steroids, adrenaline, testosterone and numerous other hormones,” says Panos Vasiloudes, Dermatologist and Medical Director of Harklinikken, a European-based hair loss clinic with a long list of American clients. “The blood sugar spikes are detrimental to the physiologic hair cycle in two major ways. First is the direct damage that rapid blood sugar changes are causing to the hair. I call this ‘direct nutritional shock.’ Second and most important, is the indirect damage caused by the fluctua-tion of hormones like insulin, cortisone, adrenaline, testosterone and DHT. I call this ‘indirect endocrine shock.’ Both of these shocks can result in significant generalized hair thinning.”

Not convinced? Sugar consumption also linked to aging skin
The spikes in insulin and blood sugar levels can have a snowball effect. The rise in blood sugar levels can lead to glycation - the process of glucose attaching to protein, which in turn can cause the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) which can cause hardened, stiffened collagen within aged skin.
