There's a new study out that shows that "antibacterial" soap is no more effective than regular soap, partly because the "active ingredient" triclosan is present in such low levels as to have no effect.
Too bad almost every soap has triclosan in it. This ship has sailed. And created lots of bacterial resistance to this particular antibiotic, also making all this antibacterial soap utterly irrelevant. I guess there's no harm in using it, but it's certainly stupid to pay extra for a feature that doesn't do anything.
