    I think it’s on account of it creating super germs. Correct? Not entirely sure, I guess I could click the link but I am about to hop off and don’t need to wander down another rabbit hole.

      It’s more than that, its been shown to not be any more effective than regular hand washing with non-antibacterial soap, and it has major negative ecosystem impacts. For example, it is hard to filter and fish downstream of AB soap bioaccumulate the AB chemicals to the point of toxicity.

      At best it’s useless, at worst it contributes to AB resistance, and is toxic to downstream flora and fauna.

        Ah, that’s a good one. I remember when organic dish soap started coming on to the scene. I am going to take a stab here and say probably for the same thing? I was hoping that it all gets filtered out at a water processing plant. But I am probably just being too optimistic. Thank you for your response =)
