This wouldn't surprised me.. Prostate cancer and male pattern baldness are two sides of the same coin.. It's argued that that same coin is related to PCOS in women, which as we know is primarily an insulin resistance ailment. I've seen a few papers recently that hypothesise about the link between MBP and insulin resistance.. We know low carb diets are beneficial for people with insulin resistance, so I don't think it's a big stretch to think that low carb diets may be beneficial for the prostate as well (and hairloss? let's hope). When insulin goes up, SHBG goes down, and free T goes up. More free t means more DHT and estrogen, which affects the prostate.
