Report: The Cure For Baldness May Lie In The Golden Arches

Hey! Balding dudes! Your answer may lie in McDonald’s french fries!

I’m dead serious.

Researchers at Yokohama National University in Japan conducted a study and discovered that the chemical dimethylpolysiloxane “is able to mass produce hair follicles in mice.”

Dimethylpolysiloxane is the same chemical found in the oil McDonald’s uses to cook its fries.

The research, which was released in the Biomaterials journal last week, said initial tests suggest that this method could also be potentially used to treat hair loss in humans.

The chemical, which is usually added to fries to prevent the hot oil from bubbling up and spitting out while it cooks, actually helps cells grow upwards of 5,000 hair follicle germs simultaneously when “cultured in the cooking aid,” scientists said.

“We demonstrated that the integrity of the oxygen supply through the bottom of the silicone chip was crucial to enabling both hair follicle germ (HFG) formation and subsequent hair shaft generation,” Yokohama National University Prof. Junji Fukuda, who conducted the study, told The Mirror.

They put the germ on bald mice, and they started growing hair in a matter of days. So….what are you waiting for?

The reason for the growth, scientists added, was that the chemical allows oxygen to easily pass through it, encouraging hair growth.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment regarding the report’s findings.

That sentence is cracking me up so hard. What is McDonald’s suppose to say? “Uh, yay! Rub our fries on your bald spots!”?

It doesn’t work. https://t.co/fxPVvRnB3O

Obviously more men need to test this method.
