Do bras and deodorant cause breast cancer?


This has been an nagging question that I have heard debated over the years. I found a really good article on the topic at heath.com. Below is the link you can got to check out what they say. At one time I had heard that using deodorants/anti-perspirants that have aluminum in them can increase your risk of developing alzheimers (that would include other uses of aluminum as well, including aluminum foil, and baking powder, which has aluminum in it). Whether or not there is any evidence for this, I did find a deodorant that uses no aluminum and works pretty well. It is called "Simply Basic", made in Canada, and distributed by Wal-Mart.

Here is the link to the article on bras and deodorant:
