Are you too clean for your own good?

The BiteAn NIH-funded study confirmed that antibacterial soaps offer no added value over plain soap. In addition, widespread use of antibacterial products may contribute to antibiotic resistance and weakened immune systems. Your best defense against germs? Plain soap, water, and thorough scrubbing.

 

 

 

 

 

The Benefits

 

Stay away from pesticides (yes, you read that right) - 75% of liquid hand soaps sold in the United States contain triclosan, a registered pesticide by the EPA. Regular soap poses no risks to producing super-bacteria. Avoid stripping (your skin, that is) - antibacterial soaps can strip natural oils from your skin.

Personally SpeakingWe ate dirt as kids and we think we turned out OK, so we don't really get this whole antibacterial insistence these days.
