My multi-talented guest today exudes calm and passion in equal abundance and I was delighted when Sue Vincent accepted my invitation to share her Defining Moments. During my research I came across some incredible interviews packed with information so today I am going give you a brief introduction to Sue’s life and work and then focus on what she considers those key times that impacted the direction her life was taking at the time.

Sue’s life has not all been plain sailing and in fact there have been times when tragedy and life’s events have resulted in a complete rethink in both lifestyle and location. It is clear however that these events also according to Sue, changed her outlook for the better and that love and laughter thrived.

We often joke about the North/South divide in the UK but Sue has experienced that for herself. Having made the choice…

EXCLUSIVE: Smoking is the cause of baldness

Scientists in California’s Arndale Centre For Hairless Research today announced that they have discovered the root cause of MPB (Male Pattern Baldness). After an extensive research program it was found that chemicals contained in commercial tobacco sources irreparably damage vital chromosomes in sebum – the substance from which all hair is made – making it impossible for hair follicles to produce healthy hair.

“We’ve found that a sort of childlike vellus type of hair is all that the follicle is capable of producing,” said Professor David Wright of ACFHR. “For many years hairloss has been attributed to the overproduction of ditestosterone but now we know that this is not the case.”

According to Wright, damage to hair production begins as soon as a person begins smoking tobacco and rapidly progresses over a number of years until the hair follicle is left in a dormant state. “It’s as if the hair follicle has regressed and gone to sleep,’ added Dr. Wright.

According to the research paper published on 15 April 2015 even passive smokers are at risk. “Smoking damages the hair follicles of anyone who happens to be in the immediate vicinity of the nicotine vapour,” said Dr. Wright. “This would account for the growing number of females who are experiencing hair loss.”

Hairless current affects two in three men and one in four women.

But does the ACFHR’s research offer any hope for MPB sufferers? “Watch this space,” said Dr. Wright. “We plan to make an important announcement on 01 May 2015. I’m won’t go into detail this moment but I will say that it will be positive news for people who suffer from this type of follicular damage. For the moment, however, the best advice I can give people is to stop smoking tobacco before it’s too late.”
