Study reveals chemical in McDonald's fries may be cure for baldness

SAN FRANCISCO --
A new study reveals a chemical found in McDonald's French fries may be the cure for baldness.

Scientists from Japan said the chemical is added to the fries in order to keep the cooking oil from frothing up.

When they tested that chemical on mice, scientists said, the mice regrew hair.

Scientists said this is the first time they have mass produced what they are calling "hair follicle germs" with this method.

I asked my spouse this AM what shade of yellow trump's hair looks. His answer.....

McDonald's French fry yellow.

The bright side of this. Trump's penchant for McD's and his hate for baldness = higher cholesterol.

Really this needs to be tweeted to him.

I use shampoo that contain it and use a shower version to apply to formerly thinning areas. Does a good job, my hair looks full and a spot in the front where my baby curl was has mostly grown back. Not good for dandruff, but I shampoo my hair three times a week, so I don't have dandruff, I also massage my scalp with a brush while in the shower. Argan oil absorbs really fast, like around 15-20 minutes, no need to blow dry, just allow my hair to naturally dry. No issues with greasy hair since the stuff absorbs so fast.
