Duuuuuhhhhh .... huh?
< |:)~
Was hoping to see Breck on the list.....it would explain John "Silky Pony" Edwards's delusional tendencies
Products made without animal testing are usually better anyway.
Human beings are NOT rats. Apart from having a bald pate, I'm hard pressed to figure whether daily use of shampoo has made me dumber. Its comforting to know I am still posting here.

Wunnerful story.
This explains former Senator John "Breck Girl" Edward's brains.
Shucks I thought they were talking about the denizens of DU - I was going to send them some.................

Unless, of course, the researchers themselves had been using MIT-laced shampoo as well; then maybe they wouldn't have noticed.
I would think that was made blatantly obvious by their two well-coifed candidates in the last election.
I suppose if a pregnant woman took out her brains to give
them a shampoo, her neurons would have a lot more to worry
about than some ingredient.
This is another case of wacko science creating a scare by
using an ingredient in ways impossible in real life.
Head and Shoulders, Suave, and Clairol, as well as Pantene hair conditioner and Revlon hair color all being used over at DU.
Note to self: Do not wash rats with shampoo.
I'll have to be more careful when I wash my pet rats' brains.
I just washed my brain and I can't do a thing with it!

The fact that NOT ONE poster thus far has noticed that critical fact makes me suspect all of you!
I wouldn't rule out a massive anti-meth effort just yet...
Gee, does this mean "Dumb Blonde" really is?
I hope Rush doesn't use this stuff on ditto-heads. According to the liberals, he's been washing my brain for years.
Is that why so many democRATS don't bathe?
That's just great - now libs have another reason not to wash their hair... yuck
I want a pony
Direct exposure? As in, they put MIT on the rat brain cells? I mean, how many common substances do you have around the house that probably shouldn't be spread on brains?
Does this explain the "dumb blondes" phenomenon? Valley girls, "bubble heads," etc. [irony]
There are a lot of ingredients which are dangerous. This is a sensationalist headline. Shampoos are rinse off products so they probably have a very low risk because you rinse it away.
If you are concerned about this ingredient, I'd avoid lotions and creams and others leave-on products which will absorb that have this ingredient. Shampoo doesn't stay on long enough to worry - unless you are a a hairdresser and are exposed to shampoo a lot.
From what I know, this ingredient is sold to cosmetic manufacturers principally for rinse off products and is not recommended for creams and lotions (but that doesn't mean some people don't use it for leave-on products).
That was pretty 'slick' grace...
What Id like to know is who is going to catch rats and then shampoo them to death...
I say just wack them with the flat side of a shovel a couple of times.....real hard ....
They said rats...not 'White Rabbits" :)
Now we know why blondes are so ditzy.

Liberal Rats stink bad enough. If, now in fear of losing brain cells, they stop washing their hair, how could we go near them without a surgeon's mask?
But yet, they really don't have a serious amount to lose.
Exposure to MIT causes brain cells to die!
(It is true that students at MIT seem a lot smarter as Freshman than as Seniors...)
Seriously, folks: Does this study find that topical application of MIT is harmful, or did they inject or feed the rats with massive doses of MIT?
I'm going to wash those brains right outta my hair...
This is why Men are smarter... Women shampoo only a mere inch from their brains.
The news isn't all bad, however. When the rats finally keel over and die from lack of brain cells, their coats look really, really shiny!
Memo to self:
Stop washing hair with rats...
Thanks for clearing that up. I feel better.
As I understand it, few, if any, of my brain cells are on my scalp.
"Oh Terayzuh lovey do you have any more Pantene hair conditioner?"

"It does WHAAAAAAAAAT -- ?!?" :)
