Deodorant linked to breast cancer
Aluminum-containing personal anti-perspirants have not been on my shopping list for a long time now. To me, it just seems odd to be blocking the pores responsible for sweating toxins from your body just due to the social stigma if "BO" that some find so terribly offensive.Well, in the latest news, that aluminum in deodorants (actually, anti-perspirants) is now being linked to breast cancer, according to British scientists.
How is that possible? Aluminum apparently made its way inside the body when used as a component of anti-perspirants and ended up in the outer part of some women's breasts. How did it get there? Deodorants.

So are there deodorants out there that don't contain aluminum?

It's more complicated than you are making out. Aluminum is found in all sorts of products we use everyday. Singling out deodorants is misleading and not supported by the best science available. http://thebeautybrains.com/2007/09/13/why-antiperspirants-do-not-cause-breast-cancer/
