I've heard a lot of bad things about anti-perspirant -- that is causes Alzheimer's and breast cancer are two more prevalent rumors ... in fact, we've even reported on the breast cancer issue before. But how true is it? The Beauty Brains have asked the same question, and their verdict is that it's false -- so there's no need to go au naturel at the gym or spend lots of money on aluminum-free versions.

Why? Well, for one, aluminum doesn't penetrate the skin. Secondly, there's no biological mechanism by which aluminum can cause breast cancer. Of course, the brains explain it better so check out their original post for more information.
