The pandemic certainly sparked an obsession with hand washing.

Makes sense, not opposed to it at all, keeping your hands clean, is essential and can help

you stay healthy, but using antibacterial soaps that have been all the rage for the

past couple years could be actually more harmful than good.

The chemicals that are in there aren't even proven to be more effective than non antibacterial

soaps.

So in this episode, I'm going to dive into the toxins in antibacterial soaps, the chemicals

that were banned by the FDA and the ones used instead that still aren't completely safe.

I'll explain why being exposed to bacteria isn't always a bad thing and what kind of soap

you can use instead.

Welcome to Fatal Conveniences where we address the things we may be doing in our daily lives

that are actually harming us and in some cases slowly killing us, tap water, teflon, caffeine,

blue light, food additives, you name it, we dive into it.

We take a critical look at everyday products that really are affecting us and our bodies

and the environment and how we can avoid them and find a solution.

So let's dive in.

Yeah, everyone knows, wash your hands, man, especially when you go into the bathroom,

wash your hands.

We don't need urea and feces on everything, pathogens, bacteria.

Of course, we need a certain level of that.

This is where it changes when you're going into antibacterial soaps.

We think that that's good, but keep in mind antibacterial soaps are the death of all bacteria.
