Using deodorant and antiperspirants could be DANGEROUS to your health
Express (UK) ^ | February 8, 2016 | Oli Smith

Deodrants and antiperspirants radically change the 'microbial community' residing in people's underarms and allowing dangerous fungi to infest user's armpits.

A new study found that antiperspirants destroyed good bacteria and could allow more potentially harmful bacteria to grow back at a faster rate.

There is no correlation. Alzheimer’s seems to be tied to other factors such as brain injury, atrophy and just plain getting old.
I see Dementia in a lot of people who retire and do almost nothing. When confusion starts occurring, they double down on doing nothing.

I don’t believe you can say that with certainty. Too much is unknown.

Look at the new discovery that it is contagious...or thought to be due to dental procedures , etc.

“The hypothesis that Al significantly contributes to AD is built upon very solid experimental evidence and should not be dismissed. Immediate steps should be taken to lessen human exposure to Al, which may be the single most aggravating and avoidable factor related to AD.”

Do people really get fungus under their arms? What if they shave? It seems that if the underarm is wet, it is more likely to develop fungus, so an antiperspirant would actually help prevent fungus.

If it was antiperspirant, the numbers would the same across all demographics.

My husband and I use Shower to Shower bath power instead of deodorant. It works perfectly and is made mostly out of corn starch and talc.

Wow. Just this morning I put some Brut under my arms and felt some stinging. I thought to myself, “We Americans put this stuff in our arm pits every day. I wonder if someday we will be warned about potential health hazards for doing so.” Well . . . here it is, less than 3 hours later. Time to stop wearing deodorant. LOL.

Ok, stop using deodorants and anti perspirants and you’ll live longer. But you’ll live alone because you smell like ass.

You can’t make that claim with certainty either.

There are plenty of things that effect certain things but it doesn’t happen the same across all demographics...

Sheesh, pick lung cancer. I have a relative that got it that never smoked. Another relative smoked like a chimney and never got lung cancer and lived longer than the relative that got it.

“antiperspirants destroyed good bacteria”

I call shenanigans. We have “good bacteria” in our gut, and we call them “good” because they help with our digestion. What “good” could bacteria hitching a ride in our underarm possibly be doing for us?

Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer across all demographics.

Have no idea if this is true or not. I do know that my aunt quit using deodorant some years ago and there is a crystal stone thingy (IIRC it’s with the deodorants in the drug store) that actually does seem to work.
