Mwanza. Researchers have warned that there may be a link between the consumption of high-sugar beverages and hair loss in men, a development that could increase the risk of baldness among those who regularly consume such drinks in large quantities.

Male baldness, medically known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition affecting millions of men worldwide.

For many years, experts have associated the condition mainly with genetics and hormones.

However, recent research suggests that diet particularly sugar intake may also play a contributing role.

A study conducted by researchers from Tsinghua University in China, through its Vanke School of Public Health, has indicated a possible association between the intake of sugary drinks and hair loss in men.
