Hand soap antimicrobial linked to cancer and liver fibrosis

Researchers say an agent found in shampoo, hand soap and other personal hygiene products - triclosan - caused liver fibrosis and cancer in mice, and it could pose a risk to humans.

I've legit gone down a soap rabbit hole for the last couple of months, testing all kinds of different soaps and paying out the ass for them. It's surprisingly difficult to find natural soaps with just a few ingredients. I always suspected things like commercial shampoo's and such being poor for your health, and there was a huge article back about 9 months ago saying similar things to the article you linked. To such an extent I started washing my hair with "healthy" regular soap.

But the kicker for me. Hair gel! I have a thick head of hair and I have to gel it during the summer. As far as I know, no "natural" hair gel exists :( If it does exist, I'm sure it's $30 for 5oz.
 
After a length of time you start to see patterns in threads in gkd, I can't recall a thread about eating burrs though. Reading this thread did make me laugh. I'll remember this one, like banana tanto.

I seem to remember an all natural hair gel in a movie about Mary.


Other options Buzz it all off. You won’t need gel, and hardly any shampoo.

And, like Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon, we’re back to wondering what blade shape to use on bananas.

We know not to try a tanto…
 
If you crush a breakfast cereal like Cheerios and wave a strong magnet over the dust you will find many small pieces of iron stuck to your magnet. That it what they mean when they say fortified with iron. You can watch videos on YouTube of people collecting that iron to make ferro fluid that black goop that reacts to magnetic fields. So it would seem that small enough small pieces of metal will pass without incident.

Try a natural beeswax, it's like gel.

This is a difficult to solve problem. My goal was to avoid as many chemicals (or chemical cocktails) as possible and be fragrance-free. Here's what I came up with for body care and laundry:

https://www.cleure.com (have a hair gel with very few ingredients and appears to avoid the worst ones)

https://meliorameansbetter.com (basic laundry soap with some optional add-on) ETA, this company does not use plastic packaging which I also view as a plus

Animal fat was used for years, historically and in prehistory.

Think if all the attention dogs will give you....
 
I question the likelihood of a burr coming off in food that a hard stone was not able to remove.

My first post. Hello every one. I just joined for reason to ask a few of the knife people stuff I don't know.
Is it possible to have a burr fly off in food from a knife that has been used too roughly on the honing steel?
And possibly causing internal damage.
Like a high paced kitchen envoronment or butcher industry?
Sorry if this sounds dumb. Just something I was pondering on after I am sometimes good at sharpening. But my game seems to have picked up since I took up oil stone sharpening over water stones and Steel honing rod. Much prefer a strop on a wood stick with yellow rogue.
Anyways. Good meeting everyone.

I would worry more about ingesting tiny pieces of metal from eating food which came from a can that you used a can opener on.

How do you know that metal fragments didn't break off into the food when you opened the can? I've always worried about that, but it's never hurt me. 🤷‍♂️

I have started using Marsaille french milled bar soap in unscented Olive or plain unscented.
