+The wai diet seems to have positive aspects regarding male pattern baldness.
 * High-frequency, low glycemic meals of OJ + olive oil would avoid insulin spikes (shown to stimulate 5-AR)
 * Oleic/linoleic acids, as well as polyphenols in olive oil would inhibit 5-AR to an extent.

 * Antioxidants in fruits would help to cope with inflammation, which is present in the scalp of those with androgenic alopecia as shown by the higher levels of PGD2.
 * Vitamin E (or any other vitamin) deficiency is unlikely.
-* Beta-sitosterol is found in avocados and cashews (wai foods), and pumpkin seeds (non-wai that might be somewhat acceptable)
+* Beta-sitosterol is found in avocados.
