This last week the wife asked me to get her some deodorant and as a LOVING, AMAZING and GREAT husband I am (I wish), I went and bought her some.
Thing is, I made the same mistake many husbands and boyfriends make, I assumed something. I assumed to know what she wanted in the deo department, and bought her some antiperspirant and gave it to her proudly!
Before i go further, 2 things I need to point out here:
I had not noticed that the deo she usually bought was just normal deo and not antiperspirant because she does not trust the ingredients in the deo, that have been said to cause health issues, even the big ------ CANCER.
So being who I am, I thought it important to go check this out (not to prove I was right, but to make sure we have knowledge :) ---) and the results were interesting.
The National Cancer Institute was very clear on this, stating that there is NO truth to this rumour.
Some used to think there was a link to breast cancer and DEO because of the proximity.
"Because underarm antiperspirants or deodorants are applied near the breast and contain potentially harmful ingredients, several scientists and others have suggested a possible connection between their use and breast cancer (1, 2). However, no scientific evidence links the use of these products to the development of breast cancer."

In all antiperspirants it was the Aluminium-based compounds in the ingredients that helped with or stopped the perspiring when used.
This caused a temporary plug or block to the sweat duct, essentially stopping the sweat from excreting.
I suggest going into the article to check the whole report on this concern people had and see that it essentially was an unfounded concern or worry.
I hope that puts at ease the stress that some husb....I mean people have regarding this topic specifically :).
Please take note that these are things that were found through reading other inputs, and not my own. It is interesting to me, and Im grateful for people that do the research.
Cancer is such a scary and horrible thing, and frankly, if we dont keep ourselves healthy, we pay the price!
Often this is cancer....
I hope I was not insensitive to other people or their suffering, as this was never the intent of this post.
All the best to you all!
