I reckon about 90+% of people who get NHL are bread-eaters. Only an establishment-trusting fool can ignore that correlation - BREAD GIVES YOU CANCER!!!

You don't set your sights very high.

One of my best mates stopped using deodorant about 15 years ago, instead opting for some sort of deodorant stone that you rub in your pits. Needless to say he is a sweaty mofo and can get a bit ripe towards the latter part of an evening in a club.

Salt deodorant stone. Works fine. Still sweat now and again but thats a good thing.

People are probably too polite to tell you that you reek.

I tape slices of bread to my armpits in order to soak up the sweat.
I'm done for

Deodourant doesn't have aluminium in it, it has alcohol and perfume and it stops the sweat smelling bad (by inhibiting bacteria growth).

Anti-persperant has Aluminium Chloride and stops you sweating (mostly). Often also has alcohol and perfume.

There was a study that alcohol mouth wash gives you mouth cancer. So even plain alcohol isn't safe.

I'm sure you mean "increased risk" remember for most of these you can have "omg X increases your chance of Y cancer by 50% and it sounds a lot until you realise your chance of getting it in the first place is 0.0003% so a 50% increase is still tiny.

Do you rub that into the armpit or leave it there all day long?

I read an article as well about the aluminium in deodrant. I think it was saying there has been an increase in breast cancer cases where the lump is found in the armpit region.

That's been widely reported, there's a definite correlation between the two (although they don't yet know for sure that it causes it). It's anti-perspirant specifically though, not deodorant. The aluminium chloride apparently clogs your pores and doesn't clear out for ages. That can't possibly be good for you.

This: use deodorants/body sprays instead of anti-perspirants. I always find that if I use anti-perspirant in my armpits I simply sweat more from elsewhere anyway, so I find it pretty pointless

Nah you simply carry a small hotplate around and constantly fry small amounts.

Probably explains the smell then.

Kwerk, do you hate the fact the human body its self is a veritable orgy of chemicals?

Everything 'gives you cancer'. You just need to weigh up exactly how much you're increasing your chances of a bad cancer vs. the benefits of what you're doing.

So does hot tea.

In the mouth that is, not the armpit.

I was reading the news about Andy Whitfield and how the rate of non-hodgkins lymphoma has double since the 70s.

You know what I suspect is the cause? Deodorant and anti-persperant. Think about it, you are rubbing all kinds of chemicals right in to your lymph nodes in your arm pit. If you use anti-persperant you are literally clogging it up with chemicals.

Call me a hippy if you like but that's why I've never used anti-persperant, only the most basic deodorant, and only when I have to like if I'm going to the gym or something. If I'm going to be sitting around the house all day or not close to other people I don't use it. Sweating is HEALTHY.

Hmmm makes sense, where is that article?

DefiantAsh · 13 Sep 2011 at 17:21

I use roll-ons now, carry them around too as they are small and don't leak, keep fresh and i tend not to sweat as much.

And then shower daily so it is removed from my arm-pits.

But then im rubbing shower gel into my arm pits.

I will die soon.
