“Antibacterial soaps sold with messages about protecting you from disease doesn’t kill any more bacteria than regular soaps, researchers say in a new study.

They found that soaps with triclosan — the commonly used biocide — were no more effective at preventing illness or at reducing bacteria levels on hands.” (08/28/07)
