Antiperspirants Leading to Breast Cancer?

Antiperspirant prevents the body from "purging toxins".  Most antiperspirants contain an active ingredient which is an aluminum based compound that plugs the sweat ducts and prevents you from perspiring.

In general, antiperspirants are coupled with a deodorant, which contains the pleasant scent that stops you from stinking. They may also contain a number of inactive ingredients.

These body toxins that were made to be excreted by the body, when we trap or block them from coming out, they find their way into the lymph nodes, where they concentrate and contribute to cellular changes that can lead to cancer or even diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Like many other people, you may now be wondering: Is the product I've been applying to my body every day for years really putting my health at risk?

Studies in recent years have theorized that aluminum-based antiperspirants may increase the risk for breast cancer. Yes, ANTIPERSPIRANT!!
Most of the stuff for under your arms out there is antiperspirants or deodorant combination containing the dreaded ingredient “ALUMINUM”!, so go home and check your ingredient labels."

According to the authors of these studies,

QUOTE:                “Most breast cancers develop in the upper outer part of the breast -- the area closest to the armpit, which is where antiperspirants are applied. The studies suggest that chemicals in antiperspirants, including aluminum, are absorbed into the skin, even more when the skin is nicked during shaving. These studies claim that those chemicals may then interact with DNA and lead to cancerous changes in cells, or interfere with the action of the female hormone estrogen, which is known to influence the growth of breast cancer cells. Also note that not only women get breast cancer!

Considering that one out of every eight women will develop breast cancer at some point in her lifetime, the idea that antiperspirants might somehow contribute to the disease is a pretty alarming.”

Oh, obviously the experts would deny all of this, but people who care did the studies, and let it out.

As I said before, it’s a vicious cycle, the people who sell and make these aluminum deodorants, are also linked with the cancer doctors etc.

Because the market is flooded with these aluminum based antiperspirants, it will take a little more out of us, to look for a deodorant not containing these harmful ingredients.

You don't have to take this information seriously, but do you really want to chance it?

Why block waste from your body that is supposed to come out?  Doesn't make any sense does it?  That’s like a backed up sewer pipe…eventually it will spill over.

So, can I suggest any deodorants for you to use?  Yes I can :)
