A German study just published reveals that treating the scalp with caffeine products can stop men from going bald.
Professor Peter Elsner is part of the team at the Jena University in the state of Thuringia that has been working on the problem. The stimulant, he says, has the most effect on men whose hair roots are very sensitive to testosterone, one of the causes of hair loss.

I will continue to drink lots of coffee and tea (titrated to maintain a tremor and resting heart rate of 90 or more) until this is researched further, but this hasn't helped me much the last 10 years...

Sensitive to testosterone, eh? Do you think they could mean DHT? I thought testosterone itself was not a factor...
