- schrodingersCat 12y agoSoaps containing triclosan... Toxicity is usually not contained to just one cell-type or organ. My point is that given the past toxicological evidence for this compound, this story should not come as a surprise to anyone.
- Multics 12y ago> Soaps containing triclosan I clearly know that. Look what I said. > this story should not come as a surprise to anyone. It's come as a surprise to you: 'I do appreciate knowing that this ingredient is in Colgate Total. That tube is getting thrown out!'
- zo1 12y ago"I do appreciate knowing that this ingredient is in Colgate Total. That tube is getting thrown out!" You go ahead and do that. Meanwhile, the rest of us will just use the damn toothpaste, because we're not perturbed by the 0.0002238% chance of acquiring cancer when we're in our old age. Or the chance of 0.0000205403% increased risk of hormone imbalance, or whatever the hell hippies complain about these days. *Note, numbers made up. Not even these scare-mongers know the numbers because they're too busy throwing tubes out. The chances are practically insignificant that they might as well be made up.
