Chips from McDonalds prevent hair loss
The loss of hair is initially nothing unusual, an average of 100 hair loses every day. Only if these hairs do not regrow in the same amount, it is called permanent hair loss. To stop this is a great challenge for many people affected. Researchers are constantly on the lookout for new remedies that provide relief.
Surprised: Japanese scientists have now found out that just a substance that is used for example by McDonalds for the preparation of fries to help against hair loss!
More specifically, it is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This is an ingredient that is added to the frying fat to prevent the hot oil from foaming. Polydimethylsiloxane should be absolutely harmless and is even used in medicine. The positive properties of the substance still have been uncovered in Japan: The scientists of Yokohama National University in a study showed that polydimethylsiloxane can prevent hair loss and at the same time stimulates hair growth.
"This simple method is very robust and promising, and we hope this technique will improve the treatment of human hair loss (...)," said Junji Fukuda, a professor at Yokohama National University.
