Antiperspirant
  
 
  The following information was passed to me....
  ~~~~~~~~~
  I just got information from a health seminar that
 I would like to share.
  The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of
 antiperspirant. 
  
  What? 
  
  Yes, ANTIPERSPIRANT. 
  
  Most of the products out there are an antiperspirant/
 deodorant combination so go home and check your labels.
 Deodorant is fine, antiperspirant is not.
  The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge
 toxins; behind the knees, behind the ears, groin area,
 and arm pits.  The toxins are purged in the form of 
 perspiration.  Antiperspirant, as the name clearly 
 indicates, prevents you  from perspiring, thereby 
 inhibiting the body from purging toxins from below
 the armpits. These toxins do not just magically disappear.
 Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below 
 the arms since it cannot sweat them out.  This causes 
 a high concentration of toxins and leads to cell
 mutations:  a.k.a. CANCER.  
  
  Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper
 outside quadrant of the  breast area.  This is
 precisely where the lymph nodes are located.
  Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely
 exempt) to develop  breast cancer prompted by
 antiperspirant usage because most of the antiperspirant
 product is caught in their hair and is not directly
 applied to the skin.  Women who apply antiperspirant
 right after shaving increase the risk further because
 shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin
 which give the chemicals entrance into the body from 
 the armpit area.
 (You
  really should not apply anything to your underarms
 for a few hours after your  shave.  If you must use 
 something immediately,
 use baking soda or powder.-
  PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about. 
 Breast Cancer is becoming frighteningly common.  This
 awareness may save lives.  If you are skeptical about 
 these findings, I urge you to do some research for
 yourself.  You will arrive at the same conclusions,
 I assure you.  Don't forget to tell mom, cousins, 
 everyone.  Deodorants (non-antiperspirants) are very
 hard to find but there are a few out there.

  Thank you.
