July 25th, Carly Casella wrote a nice article in Health called Surprise Hair Loss Breakthroughs.

Sugar gel triggers robust regrowth.

Oh...

apparently there was some kind of study going on where they were doing something with mice which is pretty typical and uh they put this sugar gel on mice i don't even think it was supposed to be for hair loss it was supposed to be for something else but they noticed that when they used the sugar gel on the mice they were like their fur started growing back better and thicker uh than previous things had and they were like huh

I don't know what they had done, but I think they, whatever they were doing to the mice before, they didn't expect the fur to grow back, I think.

What were they doing that needed sugar?

Is this just sugar in gel form?

You say sugar gel.

Yeah, what is this, gummy bears?

Or what is this?

Deoxyribose gel.

Oh.

Isn't that DNA?

Doesn't sound like sugar.

But researchers have found it worked just as well as Minoxidil, which is a topical treatment for hair loss, commonly known by the brand name Rogaine.

Wait, so it's not better?

Dude, I read the article five days ago.

How is that a breakthrough if it's not better than the current treatment?

Same but different is still a breakthrough, Mark.
