Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hi Maarit, I suspect this may be a bit different for everyone. Some prescription medications can cause hair loss. Here is a Medline abstract... " Hair loss in psychopharmacology " http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=10798824 & dopt=Abstract Apparently coffee can cause a deficiency in inositol (part of the B vitamin group), which then may cause hair loss. Here are the best links I could find on that subject. No references on any of the pages, unfortunately. http://www.stophairlossnow.co.uk/Vitamins.htm scroll down to inositol http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/yod/sept/hair.htm " Lack of inositol causes loss of hair. Any person having trouble with his or her hair should eat foods rich in inositol such as yeast, liver and molasses. Research has, however, shown that women have a low requirement of inositol. Although this vitamin may help to stimulate the growth of the woman's hair, its lack is probably not a major cause of slow growth. Women are generally deficient in iodine and vitamin B1, either of which can slow down circulation to the scalp to such an extent that hair may fall out and new hair grow in very slowly. Women who have diets adequate in iodine, the B vitamins and iron have a better growth of hair. " http://www.healthy.net/asp/templates/article.asp? PageType=article & ID=1663 " Sources: Inositol is present in both plants and animals. It is part of phospholipids in animals; in plants, it is contained in phytic acid, which can bind calcium and iron. It is not totally clear how inositol is produced by the body; it may be made by intestinal bacteria. It is stored in the body, but drinking lots of coffee can deplete these stores. Inositol is found in the whole, unprocessed grains, citrus fruits (except lemons), cantaloupe, brewer's yeast, unrefined molasses, and liver. It is also available in wheat germ, lima beans, raisins, peanuts, cabbage, and some nuts. And, of course, lecithin is a good source.
