Does Mormon inbreeding lead to male pattern baldness

When I looking at the pictures of the General Authorities it looks like the waiting room at the Hair Club for Men.

Not that baldness is bad--its probably most women think its sexy.

That is not a recessive. That is a gender-linked dominant. So, therefore, not a result of inbreeding. Maybe because it is sexier, they don't go to hair club. :)

It's a gene carried on the mother's side, if I remember correctly. Also, male baldness is related to high levels of testosterone converted to dihydrotestosterone.

Itz is in love with a baldy. I love rubbing and kissing his head. :)

Prove me wrong here..

I am pretty sure most of the baldness in my part of the morridor is cause by men rubbing it off in bed against the headboard.

Male pattern baldness

"There's this thing about bald guys."

"What's that?"

"If they're bald in the front it means they are great thinkers."

"Ohh, really?"

"And if they are bald in the back it means they are great lovers."

<ahem>"Well, what about guys who are bald in the front and the back?"

"That means they think they're great lovers!"

Re: Does Mormon inbreeding lead to male pattern baldness

Perhaps the baldness is a result of very poor nutrition during the mission years? When I was a student at BYU there were a lot of RMs who were going bald.

Bingo. I only started losing hair while I was on a poor diet. Once my diet changed, I stopped losing the hair. But that is only anecdotal. I know all of the scientific reasons behind this, which I won't elaborate.

Re: Does Mormon inbreeding lead to male pattern baldness

Oh sorry. Should have mentioned that a good diet will only slow loss of hair. It can't eliminate it completely over the course of a lifetime if one is predisposed to losing it. But one losing half their hair in a couple years in their early 20s is definitely due to a poor diet.

My dad use to say that he didn't have male pattern baldness, he just had very short bangs. :D

Perhaps it can be caused by wearing Pillsbury Dough-boy hats.

Re: Does Mormon inbreeding lead to male pattern baldness

I think the perponderance of crooked schemers, contrasted with so many gullible marks is due to inbreeding.

Phrenology still exists. Just makes you LOOK smarter.
