”We have seen absolutely no clear evidence that use of triclosan or any other antibacterial ingredient is leading to hormone problems in human beings,” Sansoni says. “It’s a great leap,” he says, to go from animal study results to human study results. Products with triclosan, he says, ”are widely available and are continually used safely and effectively by millions of people in hospitals, offices, homes, and day care settings.” ”We think it’s important for consumers to continue to have access,” Sansoni says.
