Antiperspirant Concerns

The human bodies do have some areas where it can eliminate toxins everyday. You will notice a few key areas start sweating like behind the knees, armpits, areas that touched skin and are hidden like the groin area when you are active. In fact, the whole body perspires when working out really hard. The purpose of sweating is to eliminate Toxins out of our body to clean up and it is good for us. I believe so.

Antiperspirants, as the name suggests, prevents armpit from perspiring greatly; thereby releasing bad odors as Bacteria on the skin breaks down. If it is the case, where would the sweat go? If antiperspirant stops the sweating, what would happen to our sweat glands at that moment? Would our body absorb it back or accumulate the sweat or toxins right on the skin? If our body absorbs the sweat back, where would it go? There has to be a place for the sweat to stay. Is it possible to accumulate the toxins in our system? All of my questions have no answer for me. It is only my curiosity that fired all the questions. Would it be a possibility that using antiperspirant is like inhibiting the body to eliminate toxins through the armpits and store it somewhere else as these toxins do not magically vanish like magic, I am sure. It would be good if the sweat that was supposed to be eliminated will find a different route in order to eliminate?

Okay, maybe sweating is not the only way of eliminating toxins and it doesn’t cause cancer. Rubbing antiperspirant in our skin is like coating it with toxins unless it is made of good natured mixture. There have been some concerns regarding Antiperspirant that works through an active ingredient containing some form of aluminum compound. There are some health concerns regarding the use of products with aluminum. For years many have suspicion that antiperspirant will cause breast cancer and is possible. This has not been proven and has been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but can you trust the FDA?  Some are still concerned and should be for no concrete answer is given for this subject.  I would be concern and made a decision that no antiperspirant will ever touch my armpit. When I sweat, the odors do linger around but it is not that bad and is bearable as fainting never occurred. I suspect the kind of food consumed has something to do with the smell as it started just recently. My plan would be to find that out one day.

Most breast cancers occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area in women.

Women who shave to create a feminine look end up rubbing antiperspirant on the skin. Women, who apply antiperspirant after shaving underarms, may increase the risk due to tiny injuries and skin irritations which make harmful chemical components to penetrate more quickly into the body.

Men may develop breast cancer too. Men applied antiperspirant directly on the hair of armpit than on skin as they don’t shave. Maybe that helps men less likely to develop breast cancer. Men are not exempted from breast cancer as I know some men who had it.

I know some people would not be concern about antiperspirant because sweating profusely is embarrassing. If you are concern about your health, then you should be concern about antiperspirant. Washing with soap and water would be a good alternative. Dry your armpit thoroughly before covering the area. Changing one’s diet may be of help to reduce odor. What do you think?
