Aluminum Is Not Meant for Your Armpits(Spray or rub-on)Antiperspirants include aluminum-based compounds that create a temporary "plug" inside the sweat duct, preventing perspiration from reaching the skin's surface. And while most of us don't want to sweat profusely during an important occasion like a job interview, when used regularly and left on the skin around the breast, antiperspirants may be absorbed by our bodies and cause estrogen-like effects. Aluminum-based chemicals in antiperspirants can cause breast cancer because estrogen may cause breast cancer multiply. Natural deodorants don't block sweat glands or diminish sweating as antiperspirants do. Instead, they aid in the neutralization of your body's natural odors so you smell fresh.
