There's a lot of speculation about the role of estrogen in the etiology of prostate disease (even though a study testing an aromatase inhibitor for BPH found no effect), but I'm deeply puzzled by your claim that "all the recent research" shows that E is bad for hair. I'd really appreciate it if you could cite that recent research for me! :-)
