however, the research has now revealed that even a 10-minute exposure at a high concentration was lethal to the nerve cells.
Before I get too worried, I would like to see what concentrations they are talking about. I remember the Saccahrin cancer scare. Someone once told me that the doseages they gave the lab rats was 100,000 times greater than anything available in the market, thus making the eventual negative claims seem not so spectacular.

I use two prescribed shampoos and that's it. I'm well aware of the ingredients in both shampoos, and fortunately this substance is not in either product. Mind makes a valid point though, even if it were in there, it's vitally important to know what concentrations we're actually exposed to.
I think neuritic growth is highly sensitive to environmental and chemical changes that occur. The blood-brain barrier exists to prevent damage or disruption of the delicate system that is the human brain, but it's not perfect.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate or any of the number of other terms used for the same substance is also carcenogenic. Not to mention that it tends to have negative effects on your skin. I have also heard (not sure where) that there is a fear of it relating to brain damage.
I don't know about the brain damage but it messes my skin up bad. I use only natural products that use other mild surfactants in its place.

The ability of MIT to cause neurotoxicity has been studied," McEwen said. In animals exposed to MIT, there has been no hint of neuro-damage, because MIT affects only the cells it touches and there is no way for it to get into the bloodstream and go to the brain, he said.
"It can't get to your brain cells, period," he emphasized.

I'm not sure if you realized that McEwen works for an industry association - Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association. Their sole purpose for existence is to further the financial success of their member companies. Admitting that a chemical they have been using in their products may cause brain damage is not going to align with this goal.
I can't say that this stuff will cause brain damage but I can say that industry spokespeople are NOT to be believed.

Wow. Not even the bodycare products we sell at my are MEA or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free. Perhaps I should rethink this long hair thing and just shave it off.
Regardless of the ability to simply absorb any of these chemicals (and thus induce some possibility of neuronal complications), I do worry somewhat about the excessive residues which are no doubt plaguing our water supplies at this point. Should we fret?
Yet another argument against immortality -- the longer you live, the greater propensity towards illness from environmental factors.
