I've been hearing mixed opinions about whey protein and its link to hair loss. My dermatologist told me that my hair loss might be due to whey protein, but most of my friends who also take it haven't had any issues. Could you advise if it's really safe to keep consuming whey protein?

Whey protein is generally safe, but excessive consumption may potentially contribute to hair loss due to increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, although more research is needed to confirm this link.
