As if McDonald’s french fries weren’t already the tell-all, be-all of everything that is right in this world, a new study may have just proven that they can also lead to a cure for baldness.
You really can’t make this stuff up, guys! Look – I am ALL for plowing through a large order of fries at McD’s, but all thanks to a few genius researchers at Japan’s Yokohama National University, there may actually be health benefits linked to one of the chemicals used in making the fries.
The scientists from the University conducted a study which used a chemical found in the fries to grow hair follicles on mice. The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Biomaterials and focused on the large-scale transportation of hair follicles to areas on the body that are lacking hair.
They used a chemical that I’m about to butcher the name of called dimethylpolysiloxane, which, for one sounds like a chemical that will def kill me, but according to nutrition information found on McDonald’s website, is also used as an anti-foaming agent in the oil used to fry their foods including the fries, McNuggets and fried fish sandwiches. The chemical was used as part of an “oxygen permeable” solution to prepare 5,000 hair follicle germs.
An excerpt from the study reads QUOTE, “These self-sorted hair follicle germs were shown to be capable of efficient hair-follicle and shaft generation upon intracutaneous transplantation in the backs of nude mice.”
I honestly can’t tell if I’m more grossed out or now just craving McDonald’s fries… BUT I hate to be the bearer of bad news here guys, so I do have to mention that although the chemical was helpful in the experiment, it does NOT on its own trigger an immediate mane of hair to magically sprout from your head, so the moral of the story is that NO, eating McDonald’s fries will NOT cause your hair to rapidly grow, but YES eating McDonald’s fries will result in a lifetime of pure bliss – that is a proven fact.
Although the team of researchers is hopeful that this method can eventually be used to treat hair loss in humans, many more studies are required, but hey, it seems like these guys are onto something here. So right now I’m really curious to hear what you guys think about this whole french fry hair growth chemical study ordeal – do you think it’s legit, or did talking about french fries for two minutes straight just make you hungry? Share all your thoughts down here in the comments and after that, click right over here to see Jennifer Lawrence attempt at recreating a Bridesmaids scene on an actual airplane. Thanks so much for joining me on Newsfeed, I’m your girl Joslyn Davis and I’ll see you next time.
