Ok, just to throw the proverbial monkeywrench in, I just recently learned
something about antibacterial soaps. The active ingredient, triclosan,
is considered toxic, can cause contact dermatitis, and is a derivative of
Agent Orange. (Well, I guess it makes sense, defoliant=antibacterial).
It is sold in just about every item on the market that is label antibac.,
and has been listed by the FDA as a possible harmful substance. I don't
have the books here, but the titles are "What's in Your Cosmetics" by
Aubrey Naturals, and "Cosmetic Ingredients", who also have "Food
Ingredients" but I don't have the authors' names here.
