Let's talk about antiperspirants, deodorants, and breast cancer.

This is very interesting because most breast cancer develops in the upper quadrant of the breast

closest to the armpit.

Why is that?

Is that a coincidence?

Unfortunately, there are certain things in deodorants and antiperspirants that are toxic

that can then go into the body and accumulate into the lymph nodes.

Aluminum is a big one and parabens, which is a chemical, especially if a female is shaving

the armpit, it's going to increase more absorption of whatever is in that deodorant or antiperspirant.

And unfortunately, aluminum and parabens increase estrogen.

The thing you don't want to increase if someone is at risk for getting breast cancer.

What is a deodorant?

A deodorant is something that makes the sweat smell better and an antiperspirant is something

that makes you sweat less.

So you want to start reading labels.

Most of these do contain aluminum, so you have to read the labels.

But I recommend finding a non-toxic deodorant.

This is the one that I use right here, which is called Alvira, and the one I like is the

aloe and almond.

It's an all natural roll on deodorant.

It's pretty good.

It has no chemicals, no ammo products, alcohol.
