Should people, esp women, keep using face wash, toothpaste, etc that has triclosan?what about those who have used them for yrs?high risk for breast ca?

FDA ; Triclosan: Here is a link to the fda's stance on this antibacterial ingredient. Apparently there is not enough evidence to state that it is hazardous to humans: http://www.Fda.Gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm205999.Htm.

No!: Triclosan isn't an essential ingredient in many products. While triclosan added to toothpaste has been shown to help prevent gingivitis, there's no evidence that antibacterial soaps and body washes containing triclosan provide any extra benefits, according to the Food and Drug Administration. A small amount absorbs through the skin or mouth, and while it hasn't been proven, it is not desirable.

Prevention is best: I would not use products with triclosan. Important these days to always check ingredients that you are exposing yourself to.
