Antibacterial Soap May Be Worse Than Regular Soap
抗菌肥皂其實(shí)沒(méi)你想象的那么有效
According to a new study out of South Korea, antibacterial soap is just as effective as regular soap at killing germs,
韓國(guó)最新一項(xiàng)研究表明,在抑制細(xì)菌生長(zhǎng)方面,抗菌肥皂與普通肥皂效果并無(wú)顯著差異,
and could be harmful to your health.
而且抗菌肥皂可能對(duì)人體有害。
Researchers explain that the active ingredient in most antibacterial soaps, triclosan, does a better job of killing bacteria than regular soap
專(zhuān)家解釋多數(shù)抗菌肥皂都含有活性抗菌成分——三氯生。
but only under very specific, unrealistic circumstances.
在極特殊的情況下,三氯生的確可以有效地抑制細(xì)菌滋生。
Like, say, if you were to wash your hands for nine hours.
比如說(shuō),洗手時(shí)間為9小時(shí)。
If, however, you wash your hands with room temperature antibacterial soap for about 20 seconds, you may as well use regular soap.
假如,在室溫狀態(tài)下使用抗菌肥皂洗手20秒,那么效果跟使用普通肥皂是一樣的。
Triclosan has been raising FDA eyebrows for years.
多年來(lái),三氯生一直是FDA(美國(guó)食品及藥物管理局)的重點(diǎn)研究對(duì)象,
This study was, indeed, prompted by the FDA’s 2013 call for antibacterial soap makers to prove their product more effective than regular soap.
自2013年FDA要求肥皂制造商生產(chǎn)更加高效的殺菌產(chǎn)品后,專(zhuān)家便開(kāi)始了該項(xiàng)研究。
