[quote=FruminousBandersnatch]http://gizmodo.com/minnesota-just-became-the-first-state-to-ban-anti-bacte-1579074417 The ban goes into effect January 1, 2017, and applies to pretty much any retail consumer hygiene product that includes triclosan as an active ingredient—including about 75 percent of anti-bacterial soaps. According to the FDA, there's no evidence that triclosan soap is any more effective at washing away germs than non-antibacterial soap and water, and recent studies have indicated that triclosan can "disrupt hormones critical for reproduction and development, at least in lab animals, and contribute to the development of resistant bacteria." So, according to the FDA, triclosan isn't doing any real good, and it could actually be harming you, too. [/quote]
