Is using anti-perspirant bad for you?

111>I heard using anti-perspirant was bad for people, esp. women, because it prevents a person from expelling waste in the form of sweat. I heard it can cause cancer esp. breast cancer. Is this true? What have you all heard? Any good links?
Reply:Never heard of the "antiperspirant / breast cancer" scare, but apparently it is bogus. Check out the article link below.
Reply:Sounds like an old wives tale to me!


People were once concerned about the aluminum in deodorants, but nothing ever panned out.


So, to answer your question...go ahead and use anti-perspirant. And no, you have no need to "sweat" out wastes. Sweat is simply water and salt. Wastes are expelled through the lungs, kidney, and colon......
