Triclosan

According to the 1.Wikipedia, Triclosan is used in toys, deoderants, household cleaning products, toothpastes, and quite a few other products, over 140 according to the 2.Environmental Working Goup, as an antibacterial. The Environmental Working Group went on to say that, after it is ingested, the chemical ends up in a mother's breast milk and could potentially harm an infant or a fetus.

The EWG isn't quite sure just what effects the chemical has on the body because the Environmental Protection Agency failed to test it before giving the go-ahead to the FDA to allow manufacturers to use it. (2)

Wikipedia stated that triclosan can combine with chlorine in tap water to form chloroform gas.

Well now that we have uncovered the truth about just one more chemical that the FDA let slide, lets review some common sense.
1. Read labels
2. Don't buy products containing Triclosan
3. Join the mailing list of the EWG to keep you informed of all the horrors that you may be subjecting your children to.
