Interesting. Thanks, Peter.
the FDA has declared that there is no evidence that using antibacterial soaps with triclosan confers any more health benefits than simply washing with conventional soap and water
I've known this for a long time. Problem is that most people don't wash their hands properly. [/quote]
People think that the antibacterial stuff instantly kills bacterial on contact, which isn't true as you mentioned. It still takes time and scrubbing for (a lot) more than the typical 5 seconds that most people seem to wash their hands. It is more like they just rinse their hands and there just happens to be some soapy bubbles involved.
