    Huh? From the article itself:

    On the reasons why people may suffer hair loss while on the drugs, the team said the “most likely mechanism” relates to weight loss and “reduced caloric intake”, though more research is needed.

    They said restricting calories may “contribute to physiological stress and micronutrient deficiencies (for example, iron, zinc, biotin), which can disrupt the hair growth cycle”.

      Yeah, but that’s my point, why is the publication linking it to GLPs? Saying, more research is needed while leading with a misleading headline is just shite.
