Triclosan in the news...again...

Interesting article in the news today about the (in)effectiveness of Triclosan. For a while now, many (e.g. the EWG) have been warning against using products with Triclosan. Triclosan is commonly used in handsoap, bodywash, toothpaste, and other products as an antibacterial. In my opinion it causes more harm than good. All you need to stay clean is a nice bar of good ol' fashioned soap!
