[Sorry to be so late in answering, but I was out of town] I received this info from another list. It is from a Medical Doctor who has received info implicating antiperspirants and their aluminum content et al in cancer. - Marilyn - At 11:11 AM 6/4/1999 EDT, Dorothy Ivankoe wrote: >Was this about an e-mail message saying antiperspirants can cause cancer in >women?

I just returned from the International Society of Orthomolecular Medicine Meeting in Ottawa where it was brought up as being a cause for breast congestion and as a possible risk factor for breast cancer. To say as Pat did that if one does not sweat from the armpit one will sweat somewhere else is not true because the armpit glands are not like those of the skin. They are very specialized and are called apocrine glands. They are not found in too many places on the body so preventing the sweating of the arm pit DOES impair detoxification.
