 "One study showed the presence of parabens in the breast tissue of women with breast cancer, possibly originating from their use of underarm deodorants or anti-perspirants (see chapter 10). The study also showed that methylparaben, the least potent hormone-disruptive chemical, was present at the highest concentration. Parabens' presence in breast tissue on its own mcrirninates them as a possible cause of breast cancer, but they have also been shown to stimulate the growth of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells in laboratory tests."- Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Aluminum salt-laden anti-perspirants are applied to the underarm, near the breasts. The aluminum salts remain on the skin, allowing continuous exposure. Shaving the armpits may damage the skin enough to allow aluminum salts direct chemical access to underlying tissue ?though studies have shown that aluminum salts also have no trouble passing through intact human armpit skin. What particularly concerned Darbre was the impact of the multiple chemicals in deodorants and antiperspirants acting together." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Another kind of ingredient in deodorants and anti-perspirants that may contribute to breast cancer are hormone-disruptive parabans, discussed in more detail in chapter five. At least a dozen rodent tests since 1998 have documented parabens' hormonal effects. Notably, parabens' estrogen-like effects did not occur when the animals were fed the parabens, but did show up when parabens were applied to their skin." - Samuel S.

"During the two decades prior to the first world war, an unprecedented number of creations were unveiled that would transform the formulations of cosmetics, and create a personal care products industry: • A deodorant invented in Philadelphia and marketed as "Mum" was followed by other deodorants and anti-perspirants containing aluminum chloride as the active ingredient. • The first synthetic hair dye, called "Aureole," was created in the lab of a French chemist. • Another chemist, in New York, formulated a synthetic mascara and named the product Maybelline, after his sister Mabel." - Samuel S.

 "Another concern in anti-perspirants is aluminum content. Researchers in England report that aluminum in the form of aluminium chloride or aluminium chlorhydrate can interfere with the function of estrogen receptors on the surface of human breast cancer cells. "This adds aluminum to the increasing list of metals capable of interfering with estrogen action and termed metallo-estrogens." In other words, aluminum might actually work like the plant estrogens to dull the hormonal effects upon the growth of breast cancer cells."- Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"The risk is not a major one, like aging or smoking, but it may be a factor that promotes cancer. Do anti-perspirants cause cancer? According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), there's no conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspi-rants or deodorants with breast cancer. A well publicized study by the American Cancer Society found no relationship between breast cancer and antiperspirant use." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.) |
 "Do not use anti-perspirants.
• Liver. Most significant detoxifying organ of body, using conjugase (put together), oxidase, reductase, and hydrolase enzymes to neutralize poisons. Increase intake of glutathione (dark green leafy veg), silymarin, garlic, vitamin E, selenium.
• Other. Some chose chelation therapy, mercury amalgam removal, magnets to neutralize EMF pollution.
-Get rid of the garbage.
Everyone is detoxifying their bodies all day throughout their lives~or they would die. But some people don't detox fast enough, and the toxins build up to encumber their bodily processes."- Patrick Quillin, Beating Cancer with Nutrition (Get the book.) |
 "This chemical is used by females in shampoos, cosmetics, sunscreens, hair preparations, anti-perspirants and especially in nail polish.48 Many young married women paint nails in beauty parlors and, along with any others who have hair appointments, breathe many toxic fumes for hours. Most beauty salons have little to no protection in the form of ventilation or air purification systems.48 We must wonder what effect this can have on the unborn of young women who are exposed."- Doris J.
