Kweli ni rumours tu ! but hamna ushahidi!.......the deodarants are very effective in reducing/ elimenating body odours! I normaly recommend patients/clients to use them sparingly...use the aluminium based deodants for a period of 12hrs apply in the evening after wash or bath and wash off in the morning; then use ordinary deodarant sprays!!
Can antiperspirants or deodorants cause breast cancer?
Antiperspirants/Deodorants and Breast Cancer - National Cancer Institute
Articles in the press and on the Internet have warned that underarm antiperspirants (a preparation that reduces underarm sweat) or deodorants (a preparation that destroys or masks unpleasant odors) cause breast cancer (1). The reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances, which can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. Some scientists have also proposed that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to breast cancer because they are applied frequently to an area next to the breast (2, 3).
However, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the National Institutes of Health, are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer.
