Triclosan, A Chemical Used in Antibacterial Soaps, is Found to Impair Muscle Function

Here's a link to the article:

And a link directly to the study on rats, in which higher doses of Triclosan caused thyroid issues:

Link to the study on Triclosan causing reduced muscle function:

This is certainly new information, so surely should be taken with a grain of salt, but I'd consider it a fair warning to be careful about this ingredient and the potential harmful effects in large doses.
