Pork consumtpion and facial hair?

[Gunky]

I DO NOT WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE HERE!

Is there a correlation between eating pork and facial/body hair? For example, Muslims and Jews don't eat pork and for the most part, especially those in the Middle East, they have very dense beards. Most Asian countries don't have people with much hair and pork is widely eaten amongst Asians (Chinese, Korean, Thai, etc.) Additionally, I am Italian, from the southern region, and I also noticed during my travels in Italy that Northern Italian men aren't as hairy as Southern men, additionally, pork is eaten much more up north than it is in the south, where a Mediterranean diet is the cuisine.

What are your thoughts?

Genetics determines this feature. Not swine.

I know of no diet-related correlation such as you describe.

You are partially correct. I believe it is a "drunken" ZZ Top convention.

Probably right . . . stand next to the BBQ and your hair is singed off.

That's the funniest thing I've read today. I just spit Coke Zero all over my monitor.

According to the Argentine president, pork does grow something, but its not hair.

The Department of Redundancy Department is on the line -- they would like a word with you.

Something tells me that this might be genetic, not diet based.

I'm not a Dr. but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

while I haven't seen too many people in Southeast Asia with beards I've seen plenty in Japan that do.

If there were any correlation between heavy pork consumption and less body hair I'd look like Mr. Clean by now.

 

[Stubblefield]

I love pork.

 

[psychlopath]

Maybe it has to do with olives instead??

 

[DunEdinRanger]

I eat Pork and have a thick beard when I dont shave.

 

[Duckster]

Is there anything bacon CAN'T do?

 

[Edcculus]

Bacon - the key to a BBS shave!
