I woz really excited when i read this article today, and i strongly believe that it applies to women with hormonal problems too. The article is talking about high levels of testosterone and DHT which is the exact same case for most of us. I think i will try it very soon. Let me know your opinions please as im very excited for both me, my DH and my brother!

Scientists estimate up to 60 cups a day would be needed for significant amounts to reach follicles in the scalp.

Whoa, I would fall over dead if I tried that. I usually get heart palpatations with just two cups of coffee.

Me too! I don't even drink any coffee at all...u misunderstood me lol
Im going to try applying it to my scalp. If u read it carefully, they are talking about doing that, coz it wud need too much to drink just to reach your hair follicle.

I just found something else that supports this idea, and its not related at all to this research. Its a research about the benefits of coffee and how it cud be used to relieve tired burning feet as well as on the scalp to promote hair growth.
I hope that this cud really work.

Here's the part which mentions it:
Coffee
Botanical Name: Coffea arabica
Common Names and Synonyms: Mocha, java, arabica, espresso, capuccino
Background: The coffee tree is native to the Ethiopian province of Caffa, from which the name is derived. The cultivated tree grows 12 to 15 feet high, and the evergreen leaves are six inches long, glossy, and have a cluster of white flowers at the base of the leaves. The tree blooms for only a few days, and then berries begin to form, which are red, plump, and look like small cherries. Each berry contains two seeds. Drying, grinding and roasting the seeds develops the aromatic oils. Among the constituents extracted from the beans by brewing, is caffeine, a brain stimulant, and tannic acid. Caffeine is often incorporated into pain remedies to speed efficiency. In the body, coffee produces diuretic action.

Coffee in the Cayce Readings

An infusion of coffee, with its property of tannic acid, was given as an aid to relieve tired, burning feet. The feet were soaked in water and fresh, used, but not soured, coffee grounds. The grounds could be gently massaged into the calves and limbs to bring relief from heaviness.

Several references advised massaging the scalp with used coffee grounds that would stimulate and promote hair growth, but advised that it would discolor the hair to some extent

As a beverage, Cayce advised that coffee should be taken without cream or milk.
