There are many debates on whether antibacterial soap any better than regular soap. It is true that antibacterial soaps can and will kill bacteria but at the same time, they can also help the bacteria to mutate and become immune to those chemicals that are in the antibacterial soaps. Every time you would use antibacterial soaps, new bacteria will start growing with brand new survival abilities. Soap has 2 main functions to decrease water's surface tension and bind to dirt, oil and bacteria. Regular soaps does get rid of bacteria but antibacterial soap needs to be in use for at least 2 minutes in order to be effective but many people are inpatient. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) say that the most effective way to have clean hands is just by using ordinary soap with warm water. That is why it is very important to know how to take care of yourself (wash your hands after going to the restrooms) and know what type of product will keep you safe. Because if you don’t wash your hands, bacteria will grow and start spreading. Another thing is, when using hand-sanitizer; it contains 60- to 90 % alcohol and will eliminate any bacteria that the hand-sanitizer has touch.

Restaurant Review: Sushi California
One day after my brother’s
hockey game like any other Friday night, my brother suggested to go to this
little sushi place. After a short 15
minute drive, we arrived at the restaurant.
The exterior honestly didn't look too appealing to me, but this tiny restaurant was packed
with people waiting inside and outside of the restaurant. My brother insisted on heading inside, wanting
to taste their take on Japanese sushi.
It actually took us maybe
half an hour to get seated because of the line, but after the meal, I didn't regret a second of it! The sushi was absolutely delicious and by far some the best
sushi I've ever had. Sushi California is actually now my “go to” place for
food. First of all, it’s quite healthy,
the price is very reasonable and inexpensive, but most importantly, they have
authentic Japanese chefs who are very well trained in this field of cuisine.
The first time I went to this
restaurant was about 2 or 3 years ago. Even till this day, Sushi
California is my favorite local sushi place! My family goes
to this restaurant regularly now as we are well known customers there. The chefs and waitresses are practically
friends and family to me now. The chefs are very friendly, greeting customers
with their smiles behind the sushi bar, making everyone feel welcomed. My one critique about this restaurant
is that their service could be better, but overall I give this restaurant an A! I strongly suggest all of you to give it a try!
Sushi California is now open
in 2 locations:
501A North Rd, Coquitlam, BC
(604) 931-8284
833 Broadway Vancouver, BC
604-873-8284
