(NaturalNews) The FDA is reevaluating the safety of a popular chemical additive called triclosan, based on recent studies that seem to indicate it causes endocrine disruption in the body and leads to the emergence of drug-resistant "super" bacteria.

Groovy, you guys are having a rip roaring time. My husband, & I tried the other day, but ended up going to the worst movie, the one with all the Saturday night live people. Ah well. Appreciate your comments you love bugs. Funny, everyone seemed to promote the antibacterial soaps, & no one has anything to say. Wonder if they found this out before, & didn't say anything.. Love ya, freaky
