These days, it seems like so many products use the label 'antibacterial' as a selling point. I know I've chosen the antibacterial version of something over the regular one, but I might not anymore after reading this. The article provides three reasons not to use Antibacterial products:

1-They are bad for the environment, and have turned up in fish, waste water, and even breast milk.
2-They have lead to resistant strains of bacteria.
3-They don't do us any good. Colds and flus are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Plus, according to this, a little bacteria is good for you -- it helps build a healthy immune system.

I did a little digging and found that antibacterial products have actually been linked to cancer, which is pretty scary considering these products are everywhere. I think this is a good lesson in not believing everything corporations tell you.
