For years I have been on an anti-anti-bacterial crusade. It's not as sexy as vaccines or parenting techniques, etc. but it's my cause. I came across this article which is not too dry, and about as entertaining as a scientific article can be. Thought I'd share...

Re: Interesting article (to me) re antibacterial stuff

Ba-hahahaha!
Seriously though, the article is interesting....I believe I have read something similar in the past. Whenever I hear about all the new "technology" like this, all it does is make me wonder: how did people ever manage to survive prior to this? (note sarcasm) Sometimes I wonder if stuff like this is really making life better, or is just one more product that someone is developing and making money off of until the next latest-and-greatest thing comes along.
