Antiperspirants and Breast Cancer
Should I Be Concerned About Using Antiperspirants?


The bodyhas a several places that it uses to push out toxins. Most people produce sweat under their armpits as well as from their back, groin, head, hands and feet. In the case of sweating, the body's toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. As the name clearly indicates, these antiperspirants prevent us from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from underneath the arms.

These toxins do not just simply disappear. When toxins begin to concentrate in any one area it can result in a type of cell mutation. Cell mutations are in fact a form of cancer.

The Antiperspirant did a good job in preventing us from sweating, however, with this information, you have to ask yourself, is it worth the risk? Even though we can sweat from places all over our body, a build up of toxins can result from plugging up any areas that our bodies are trying to purge these toxins from.

Looking deeper into this subject we find information on the use of Aluminium Chlorohydrate as an active ingredient in antiperspirants. Aluminium has been linked to Alzheimer's since the 1950's when it was used as a popular metal used for making cooking pots, saucepans and fry pans and it in more recent times, there has been a possible link between this chemical and breast cancer as well.

Maybe there have not been enough studies to prove or disprove the link between breast cancer and antiperspirants However, just because people are not dying instantly from smoking, it does not mean they should not smoke.

Perhaps we should just keep this simple. If you plug up a hole where garbage if suppose to come out, it will begin to putrefy and rot.

This we cannot deny. Our bodies were not meant to absorb chemicals. We're certainly better off without them. So, now you're probably wondering what you can do about those unsightly underarm sweat spots. I guess if you really have a problem, you could bring along several shirts or blouses to change into. I know that's not the answer you were hoping for, but it's the only one I have at the moment.

Maybe your problem isn't sweat, but more along the lines of body odor.

Have you ever heard of using baking soda? Yep, you read that right. I was shocked at how well this worked for me and other members of my family willing to try it. In fact baking soda works far better than any other deodorant I've ever used. Just don't put it on too heavily. My friend developed a bit of a rash at first. I told her to brush it off after patting it on. So, she stopped using it for just a few days, then started to apply it again after her rash subsided. To her delight, it worked just fine and she has not had any more rash problems.
