apple juice promotes growth?!

[candibaby]

okay, i was bored so i decided to look this up.
usapple.org says..
"Japanese researchers reported late last year that a chemical isolated from apples, procyanadin B-2, significantly promoted hair growth in their animal study — by 300 percent compared to controls - by inhibiting expression of protein kinase C, known to play a role in cell proliferation and believed to act as a negative hair-growing factor. "

that's basically what every other place i went to in the first 5 pages of my google search said.

apple juice is my all-time favorite thing to drink, but about growth? or maybe i just dont see it because i kept cutting it last year..

just thought i'd post this to see what you ladies think.

this is my opinion on apple juice.

Yes, apple juice has great vitamins that may aid in better health but I believe that eating apples provide greater benefit. U can PM me if u want to learn more.

i think the high sugar content in the juice may stunt the growth

hey, try the carrot juice thing! it has people's hair thriving!

Well, if it does, I'll have to start monitoring my mother's hair (it's weaved up now, but it's growing qite nicely underneath). She just started craving apple juice a lot lately.

I agree. Apple juice is good for you, but it's packed with sugar. You're much safer with regular apples, at least you get the fiber too.

I agree with what the ladies said about the apples as opposed to the juice.

The procyanadin B-2 which was isolated as the source. There are a lot of "unidentified" procyanadins which are in a variety of fruits and vegetables which promote growth. Do the same search for "grape seed extract", "bilberry", "blueberries", "elderberries", etc and I know you should come up with a lot in terms of hair growth.

Im going to go on a challenge to eat more apples and drink carrot juice. Not too much of course. I will not be drinking the apple juice. I will be eating apples.
