I dont trust deodorant

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.

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.

Kwerk, dont' know if this has been pointed out to your, but you Lymphatic system isn't just in your armpits - it mirrors your circulatory system.

By your logic we rally shouldn't use hairspray, toothpaste, soap, shaving gel, hair gel, shampoo, mouthwash or anything else we rub/apply/wash ourselves with.

Personally I think its more likely to do with the amount of Chemicals in our food.

I've just thought of something as well. As most Anti-persperants use an Aluminium oxide in their make up, perhaps you might also consider taking off your tin foil hat just in case....

I don't advocate any of those. Hair product use have been linked to prematute puberty in black girls for example.

In a perfect world nobody would apply anything other than water to themselves. Your body makes it's own oils that protect the skin.

Actually I would expand it to water, olive or coconut oil and various natural clays.

I Use Biosen roll on it has no aluminium in it.

This is the one I used if I have too. Smells really good.

paraben, alcohol and alluminum salts free.
