CANCER.
Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an
anti-perspirant/deodorant combination, so go home and check.
Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not. Here's why:
The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind
the
knees, behind the ears, groin area, and armpits.
The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration.
Anti-perspirant,
as
the
name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby
inhibiting
the body from purging toxins from below the armpits. These toxins
do
not
just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the
lymph
nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. Nearly all
breast
cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast
area.
