Antiperspirant And Breast Cancer: Linked?
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Antiperspirant and Breast Cancer: Linked?" talks about cancer, it has been released by Ben Lynch.
The information below is taken from the FDA newsletter that I receive:"FDA is aware of concerns that antiperspirant use -- in conjunction with underarm shaving -- may be associated with increased risk of developing breast cancer.
FDA continues to search scientific literature for studies examining this possible adverse drug effect. Unfortunately, there are many publications that discuss the issue but really few studies in which data have been collceted and analyzed.
Overall, the studies that contain data are inconclusive in determining whether antiperspirants, in any way, contribute to the develpoment of breast cancer.
FDA hopes that definitive studies expolring breast cancer incidence and antiperspirant use will be conducted in the near future."The issue is the aluminimum found in antiperspirants. Given this fact, numerous companies in the beauty industry are shifting away from adding aluminum and other potentially harmful ingredients to their products.Why wait for solid proof that aluminum is causing breast cancer - esepcially as there are alternatives.
Vsiit your health store, pharmacy or even quality supermarket. There you will find aluimnum free deodorants.CBS did a two-part special on Tom's of Maine deodorants. Part 1 evaluates the correlation between cancer and use of antiperspirants and Part 2 evalutes Tom's of Maine's antiperspirant products.It may seem odd yet I have not used deoderant for about 10 years now. I do not need it.
No I don't stink! It is based on what my observant older sibling told me yaers ago, "Don't eat dairy and you won't stink."I thought he was full of it. Yet when I tried it, he was correct.
I do not totally eliminate dairy from my diet as it tastes too damn good. Yet I do not drink milk.Yet if one is in a stressful job and sweating all the time [which I am beginning to do being a medical student in clinical training], a safe anti-perspirant may be necessary.I have located a review on a medical resesarch database about deodorants and breast cancer.Another study entitled, "An earlier age of breast cancer diagnosis related to more frequent use of antiperspirants/deodorants and underarm shaving."For more antiperspirant information, visit the full article on the FDA website.Copyright 2005 by Benjamin Lynch and HealthE GoodsBenjamin Lynch has a BS degree in Cell and Moleuclar Biology from the University of Washington.
