Deodorant can cause breast cancer!?
No link between cancer and deodorants/anti-perspirants has been proven, and evidence strongly suggests there isn%26#039;t one.





The currently widely-held belief that they are linked to breast cancer is mainly down to a hoax email that has been widely circulated.





A large study in 2002 looked for links between antiperspirant use and breast cancer in 1,500 women. The researchers found that neither antiperspirants nor deodorants increased breast cancer risk.





Those who claim that deodorants/antiperspirants cause breast cancer state one of these three thigs as the reason





1) anti-perspirants prevent the release of toxins, which cause cancer; this is nonsense - the purpose of sweat is to cool you down, not release %26#039;toxins%26#039;, and even if sweat did release toxins, there are plenty of other areas you sweat profusely from.





2) they contain aluminium; many do but there is no strong evidence that aluminium could increase the risk of cancer





3) they contain parabens, a preservative many believe is linked to breast cancer. - There is in fact no evidence that parabens cause cancer; the concern arises from a small study in 2004 by British researchers which found traces of parabens in tissue taken from women with breast cancer. The tumours of 20 women were tested, and for obvious reasons there was no control group.





The researchers claimed the study demonstrated that if people are exposed to parabens , the chemicals will accumulate in their bodies





However, this extremely small study doesn%26#039;t demonstrate a direct causal link between deodorant or antiperspirant use and developing breast cancer. A study that small cannot be regarded as proof.





There are many deodorants available without parabens and aluminium, and many people choose to use them to be on the safe side - I do myself, and did long before my breast cancer diagnosis - but there is no proof of a link with breast cancer.
Reply:I use deodorant every day. If you don%26#039;t...it%26#039;s gross. It%26#039;s a conspiracy theory. I%26#039;ve never seen anyone diagnosed with breast cancer based off the formation of deodorant use. Trust me, it%26#039;s fine. Have you ever seen a doctors warning that says: may cause breast cancer? Exactly. If there were a risk, it would be required to be printed on the bottle. Kind of like how people says cell pones give you brain cancer. They%26#039;ve been around for a good amount of time now, haven%26#039;t seen anyone die from cell phone use. If you notice, on the back of the deodorant, it will say to watch out if you have kidney problems. Their is a chemical in deodorant that is hard for your kidney%26#039;s to process. You can talk to your doctor about all this if you want.
