Soap and life in general kills brain cells. Bacterial infection kills more mice than all the shampoo in the world. Somebody has always got to stir the feces.

Don't buy shampoos made by companies that test on animals. Read the back of the label. Plenty of mainstream products don't put dye in animals eyes, etc.

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.

MIT has been used in shampoo for decades. If there had been a problem, someone would have noticed by now.

Unless, of course, the researchers themselves had been using MIT-laced shampoo as well; then maybe they wouldn't have noticed.

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.

It's ONLY the brain cells of RATS that are killed. Not Republicans.

The fact that NOT ONE poster thus far has noticed that critical fact makes me suspect all of you!

That doesn't look so big that it wouldn't cross the blood-brain barrier, or even go directly into your cells.

In earlier experiments with rat brain cells, Aizenman's team found that direct exposure to MIT in concentrations like those found in hand cream was enough to kill neurons.

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?

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).

According to the National Institutes of Health, brands containing MIT include ..... Revlon hair color.

Now we know why blondes are so ditzy.

I'm hoping this is all wrong.

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...

Shampoo Ingredient Kills Rats' Brain Cells

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!

"Whether long-term exposure to products containing MIT is dangerous is not known, Aizenman said. "Can I say that these products are safe to use? No," he said. "Can I say that these products are unsafe to use? No." "

Thanks for clearing that up. I feel better.

As I understand it, few, if any, of my brain cells are on my scalp.
