别买抗菌肥皂了。 用普通肥皂洗手足够了。
FDA正在重新审核市面上的抗菌肥皂。目前没有科研证据证明所谓抗菌肥皂有抑制细菌传播的作用,相反,主要成份三氯生(triclosan)可能促进耐药菌和导致激素紊乱。2016年为止生产商如未能提交证据则禁止销售。
CDC: Handwashing
In fact, there currently is no evidence that over-the-counter (OTC) antibacterial soap products are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water, says Colleen Rogers, Ph.D., a lead microbiologist at FDA.
Moreover, antibacterial soap products contain chemical ingredients, such as triclosan(三氯生) and triclocarban(三氯卡班), which may carry unnecessary risks given that their benefits are unproven.
"New data suggest that the risks associated with long-term, daily use of antibacterial soaps may outweigh the benefits," Rogers says. There are indications that certain ingredients in these soaps may contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and may have unanticipated hormonal effects that are of concern to FDA.
In light of these data, the agency issued a proposed rule on Dec. 16, 2013 that would require manufacturers to provide more substantial data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of antibacterial soaps. The proposed rule covers only those consumer antibacterial soaps and body washes that are used with water. It does not apply to hand sanitizers, hand wipes or antibacterial soaps that are used in health care settings such as hospitals.
