shampoo

[Guest Guest_arthur]

Thought id share some info i recieved from my mother about shampoos. She sent me an article from discovery health news dated 12/6/04. Unfortunately alot of the article did not copy very well. The article is titled " Shampoo Ingredient Kills Rats' Brain Cells". The chemical methylisothiazolinone (MIT) which is found in shampoos, hand lotions and paint causes neurons to die. Some of the brands containing MIT include Head and Shoulders, Suave, Clairol, Pantene hair conditioner and Revlon hair color. The national institute of health has a list of household products containing MIT. The testing was done by Elias Aizenman a professor of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "Quote" One of the things that this compound was very good at was preventing neurons from communicating with other neurons. Unfortunately each sentance had been cut off at the end. There isnt any hard evidence that this can hurt humans but i think it might be a good idea to avoid products containing this chemical.

P.S. Just a heads up
