A chemical found in McDonald’s fries could cure baldness, new research suggests.

Japanese scientists claim they have found a “simple method” to regrow hair on bald mice, using dimethylpolysiloxane, which is used in the fast-food giant’s cooking oil. Dimethylpolysiloxane is found in silicone, which is added to cooking oil to prevent it from foaming.
