Thought i would share as i found it very interesting. Doesn't paint a very good picture for "Anti-Bacterial" soaps.

The same goes for the anti-bacterial mouthwash and toothpaste products.
...Like the Colgate commercial where they use a device to measure the bacteria on the teeth, and how their product kills them... not realizing these bacteria are beneficial and should not be killed off..
I swear, for every step forward, science takes two steps back..
Bacteria good for you? I guess so!
Eventually we will find (mostly in retrospect, of course) that we can be very grateful to those people who have made life most difficult for us.
