Warning About Soap!

[Satcomer]

After the article Mounting Data Suggests Antibacterial Soaps do More Harm than Good I'm glad I always went for the cheapest hand soaps throughout the years!


Then I always went with LavaSoap when working on really dirty/oil machines, etc.

Just plain soap does the job. Try telling that to hospitals and doctor offices that have hand sanitizer all over the place. That stuff does more damage than good.

The plot thickens
FDA Asks How safe is That Hand Sanitizer.

 

[Cheryl]

Now the makers of hand sanitizer has to prove their claims. And no doubt, they will try to beef up their ‘research’

 

[Satcomer]

Well an update to the saga is this announcement FDA Bans AntiBacterial Soaps because of No Scientific They're Effective!

 

[Cheryl]

About time. The only thing they are effective in is drying out your hands.

 

[Doctor X]

On the contrary, they are very effective in killing "98%" of the Wee Beasties

on your hand after you have done בעל only knows with it, leaving the 2% of the resistant Wee Beasties

a nice open living space upon which to conjugate in prokaryotic frenzy transforming your hand into a fomite of eschatological ambitions that you will then use to [CENSORED--Ed.] yourself with a garlic press

.

Yet none of them will have any affect on

This all comes from a saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and people not following it!

I use a handmade soap , we use them at home .

Another late update to bad soaps being warning 84% of Mexican Hand Sanitizers Toxic or Flawed FDA Issues Alert!

 

[Satcomer]

Another update straight from FDA bans certain Hand sanitizers!

Funny how what is advertised as natural and scent free has unacceptable levels of benzene, acetaldehyde, and acetal contaminants. Thanks Satcomer.

Well, if the chemical compounds are found in nature, then even if they are dangerous the hand sanitiser can be claimed to be "natural," I suppose. For example, curare (a poison) is natural but I wouldn't want it in my food or care products.
