What"s the Harm?
In addition to preventing toxins from being sweat out of the body, antiperspirants contain Aluminium Chlorohydrate, as an active ingredient.
The suspicion of aluminium as one of the contributing factors to Alzheimer's started back in the 1950's.
In more recent years it has also been related Breast Cancer.
It is important to note that using an antiperspirant directly after shaving can also increase this risk as it allows the chemicals to seep into the skin through very minute cuts in the skin as a result of shaving.
At this point in time, there may not be any hard data that says using antiperspirants can put us at great risk for developing cancer.
However, just because people are not dropping dead instantly from smoking, it does not mean they should not smoke.
Perhaps we should just keep this simple.
If you plug up a hole where garbage if suppose to come out, it will begin to putrefy and rot.
This we cannot deny.
Chemicals are bad for our bodies.
We're certainly better off without them.
So, now you're probably wondering what you can do about those unsightly underarm sweat spots.
I guess if you really have a problem, and you made the decision not to use antiperspirants to prevention your sweating you could bring along several shirts or blouses to change into.
Maybe your problem isn't sweat, but more along the lines of body odor.
Have you ever heard of using baking soda? Yep, you read that right.
I was shocked at how well this worked for me and other members of my family willing to try it.
In fact baking soda works far better than any other deodorants or antiperspirants I've ever used.
Just don't put it on too heavily.
My friend developed a bit of a rash at first.
I told her to brush it off after patting it on.
So, she stopped using it for just a few days, then started to apply it again after her rash subsided.
To her delight, it worked just fine and she has not had any more rash problems.
