Should you really avoid antibacterial soap? is it really that bad on hormone levels??

Antibacterial soap: There are several studies have shown antibacterial soaps not significantly better than non antibacterial soaps. Some animal studies have shown that the active ingredients might affect the hormone level. Overall you not getting much benefit form the antibacterial soaps and paying more and inviting new problems from it.
