I found this video on youtube and Dr. Shapiro is claiming that whey protein isolate causes hair loss. My hair line is receding but that started happening before I started taking whey protein, will taking whey protein increase the process??(NOT hating on whey protein, just want to know what you guys think.
Just type - ABC News - Dr. Shapiro's Help Hair Protein Shake - on youtube

The doctor is incorrect/stupid and this whole news report is nothing but a lie. This is what might happen when injecting steroids, not drinking whey isolate protein. Whey isolate is whey concentrate without the fat and lactose, not a testosterone booster!Last edited by SwissMuscle; 10-18-2010 at 02:01 AM.

I don't think so man. I believe Egg Protein can do this though because it has avidin (a protein which binds biotin, which is necessary for hair growth).Originally Posted by sk8erdude
