Studies are showing that there is some correlation between hypertension and male pattern baldness, especially that which shows early onset.

That may shake the core out from under the bluster of youngish guys who don't know why they are balding early, but were at least sure in the past that it wasn't the burger and fries they ate 2-3 times a day.

If married, many men still demand big hunks of meat on the plate and consider a potato and butter all the vegetable they should be forced to look at on their plate.

I don't know how often I've heard the boast about "meat and potatoes" kind of guy.

Unfortunately that could also be an bald kind of guy, heading for an early grave.

I'm thinking that the baldness connection may be the key to getting us to eat better, instead of insisting that it's our natural right to eat like neanderthals.

And you want to know what's weird?  Once you take the plunge into chopping up and preparing vegetables you can eat with pasta or potatoes and smaller portions of meat or even fish you may find they make the meal a lot better as and the wife and I did.

Really.  Try it.
