* USA Today: McDonald’s french fries might lead to a cure for baldness

Just read the below story- on usatoday.com.

Just curious, if this all works out- does the hair only come in red and does adding Ketchup and salt to the mix- affect anything?

February 6th, 2018

McDonald’s french fries might lead to a cure for baldness. No, not by eating them.

Researchers at Japan’s Yokohama National University used a chemical found in the fries to grow hair follicles on mice, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Biomaterials.

The study focuses on the large-scale transportation of hair follicles to areas where there is no hair. Researchers used dimethylpolysiloxane as part of an “oxygen permeable” solution to prepare 5,000 hair follicle germs.

“These self-sorted hair follicle germs were shown to be capable of efficient hair-follicle and shaft generation upon intracutaneous transplantation into the backs of nude mice,” reads an excerpt from the study.

Although researchers note more studies are required, the findings could lead to a potential strategy for hair regeneration.

According to nutrition information found on McDonald’s website, dimethylpolysiloxane is used as an anti-foaming agent in the oil used to fry foods including french fries, Chicken McNuggets and fried fish sandwiches.

***** Red Carpet Italian Restaurant, 3438 Southwest 8th Street, Miami, Florida 33135, (305) 529-4220.

First told you guys about Red Carpet Italian Restaurant on 3/21/16. The truth be told, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats hadn’t been back- that is until last night’s dinner! For our purposes, let’s call Red Carpet Italian Restaurant “an out of sight, out of mind” joint. For the interested, Red Carpet Italian Restaurant is 61 miles from the Eats’ Boca Raton abode- thus a 122 mile round-trip doesn’t exactly make it- a joint that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats can run-to on the spur of the moment!

Anyway, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats loved Red Carpet Italian Restaurant in 2016 and we loved it again last night- in 2018 and I’m telling you- delicious food, reasonable prices and super pleasant service- make this joint an absolute must try!
