The caption of the first image is incorrect, and a bit inflammatory. Triclosan is not a common ingredient in toothpaste in the US as there is only one type of toothpaste marketed with it: Colgate Total

And here I thought all progress and innovation was good...

It took from the 1970's to 2016 to determine that it could be dangerous. Even with minute levels, millions of users are excreting the chemical into the water supply, 40 years worth. If the the gut flora are being attacked by this it explains a lot of conditions. Even when a chemical or drug are questionable who in their right minds feeds it to the public?

@BrianK56 because manufacturers across the board look for fillers that are the cheapest, to bulk up and sell more while keeping prices for consumers up and/or makes their products last longer so it's more guaranteed to be bought eventually.
When I worked at a feed mill for a few years, two of the biggest fillers that were used in bovine feed was used distillery grains... and bad corn. By bad corn, I mean the stuff too ugly or deformed to sell in supermarkets, or other strains of non-consumer grade corn; think popping corn overstock, fuel corn & biomass corn. Some farms only grow bad corn exactly because the whole entire year's production can be sold off, stalks & all, instead of the chance that a chunk of your food-grade corn being rejected, which can be flipped for sale as bad corn but the farm eats some cost for selling as scrap instead.
Anyway, the main reason it's called bad corn, is because corn is bad for bovine, and most farms that aren't small 1-4 man full-time operations just don't care cause they can replace the bovine long before it becomes a serious problem and flip the carcass for cash to boot, so farms totally accept and feed bad corn filler to their stock cause it keeps the cost of the tonnage feed they order down.

Dial hand soap has this? That's like half the world, geez!

There seems to be a common denominator in such news, nmaet that the US FDA is weak, and ineffectual. It can only be because it is incompetant, captured by corporate interests, actually corrupt, or lastly handicapped by its mandates. Most of these are what you would expect from a small or medium, poor, corruption ridden country. How is this possible? Increasingly I'm wondering why we hold up the US as an example to be followed. And I'm not even talking about Pres Trump.

triclosan isn't taken internally. People don't swallow toothpaste. And there's so little triclosan in it it wouldn't harm anything.
Every time you see one of these "it took us this long to figure out it's the devil" articles,
you know it's about to go off patent so - now it's devil antiseptic.
You see this over, and over, and o.v.e.r. and it's always the same thing: after alllll this time - generally, about 20 years or so - to figure out it's the devil! We got some good stuff now so *luckily (whew) we'll be alright.

These articles never have any actual numbers from the research, let alone the testing conditions. Triclosan may not be effective against bacteria for very short exposures in low concentrations, but it is for longer exposures, and they never provide the specifics of the dose-effect relationship. I believe there is no evidence it breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria any more than bleach does since they act through the same mechanism.
The zillion authors are from a bunch of low-ranked schools, a few with shirt-tail relations to better institutions, publishing in a low-impact grab-bag journal, "Science Translational Medicine" - which wants $15 to look at a single article. This is the sort of BS which sadly passes for science today.

@allen92 How do you think that anything that enters your mouth isn't being ingested??? Thanks for your anti-conspiracy rhetorical, but your ignoring the implication that it actually doesn't even accomplish it's task. From experience when I was a teen with severe acne, none of the Triclosan products did anything beneficial.

Too bad we can't trust a thing the FDA comes out with.
