The heat is on…a  little too early for my liking.  We use deodorants all year round and if you haven’t already done so, this is definitely the time when you invest in the right choice of deodorant both to keep the sweaty patches at bay but also to be sure that the choice is safe for your health.

Natural Cosmetic News reports that  ‘aluminum-based compounds are the active ingredients in antiperspirants. They block the sweat glands to keep sweat from getting to the skin’s surface. Some research has suggested that these aluminum compounds may be absorbed by the skin and cause changes in estrogen receptors of breast cells. Because estrogen can promote the growth of both cancer and non-cancer breast cells, some scientists have suggested that using the aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants may be a risk factor for the development of breast cancer’

Even though more studies have to be looked into regarding the aluminium content of  breast tissue, and aluminum absorption through the skin, researchers continue to look at this possible breast cancer risk factor.
