“Gray Hair Caused by Stress (Cell Stress, That Is)”

Um… if, as this article suggests, hair goes gray because the body is “forcing the [damaged stem cells in hair follicles] to mature” in preference to killing them off, why would the same scientists suggest that “we may soon have anti-graying creams for aging populations”? Wouldn’t you want those cells to mature, rather than continue growing with damaged DNA?

    The anti-greying cream will act by going and fixing the DNA! Yeah, that’s the ticket. ;-)
