Ah, science.... you gotta love it! It seems that no sooner does one scientific body come up with one finding then another group comes up with something just the opposite. Anti bacterial soaps may be more good than bad.... I don't honestly know. But I do know this: I was a child in the 1950's and that's when the whole notion of things just can't be damn clean enough in your household really took off. Of course there were influential advocates of change who were at the head of this movement .... Mr. Clean, Mr. Proctor and Mr. Gamble, Mr. Spic and Mrs. Span, etc. etc. ... and I think they got very rich convincing a whole generation or two that the more chemicals you dumped on things, the safer everything would be.
I think in the last several years, some have begun to question this notion. Many of these people are called environmentalists.
