Re: Re: Walking in a Hot pool.

I agree that the use of antibacterial chemicals is a bad idea, unless there

is a specific need for them.

The blog that was posted here did not quite accurately reflect the finding

of the UC study which were: The researchers found two key effects: In

human cells in the laboratory, triclocarban increased gene expression that

is normally regulated by testosterone. And when male rats were fed

triclocarban, testosterone-dependent organs such as the prostate gland grew

abnormally large.

The net effect was an increase in testosterone levels.

The most important thing to know is that triclocarban, and it is turning out

more and more chemicals we are using, is an endocrine system disruptor.

Nothing is conclusive, at this point. Personally, I prefer to err on the

side of caution.
