  This week on The Bald Truth: Spencer Kobren’s close friend Rafael hangs in studio with us to share his experience with hair loss, and using Proscar for the past 14 years. Joe calls in to tell the guys why his family said he was going to hell. George from Mobile calls in to tell us how his birthday went and being mistaken, once again, for being much younger than he he really is. Vic from DC asks Spencer to clarify how Replicel affects follicles. Spencer reiterates that he doesn’t withhold information about the hair loss industry from listeners, even though that’s the general consensus among many of the conspiracy theorists on baldtruthtalk.com. And Sam from New York calls to discuss how deceptive advertising can be. Should any hair loss advertiser be taken seriously?

• Propecia Does Not Increase Prostate Cancer Risk According to Chief Medical Officer of The American Cancer Society

  In Hair Loss / By The Bald Truth / 15 June 2011

  The news has spread far and wide through the hair loss community that the Food and Drug Administration expanded their warning last Thursday on a group of drugs which includes finasteride (Proscar/Propecia), stating that using these drugs may increase the risk of high grade prostate cancer.

  The latest  warning indicates that 5 alpha reductase inhibitors (which include the hair loss drug Propecia) are linked to a greater risk of high grade prostate cancers. However, many physicians, including prostate cancer specialists, believe that these drugs actually improve the ability to detect aggressive tumors that already exist in patients, which can prove to be life saving.

  According to Otis Brawley, M.D., chief medical officer and executive vice president of the American Cancer Society, this latest FDA warning has been misinterpreted by many and he felt it was important to set the record straight.
