According to a study conducted by Swiss researchers André-Pascal Sappino and Stefano Mandriota, there is a link between the use of certain deodorants and the development of breast cancer.
Pay attention to the composition of deodorants
Is deodorant dangerous for health? This is what a study published in theInternational Journal of Cancer. According to this work, the aluminum salts present in 80% of deodorants promote the development of tumors and metastasis. To achieve these results, the researchers exposed the mammary cells of mice to these aluminum salts for several months in vitro.
Result: after reinjection of these cells in mice, breast cancers with very aggressive tumors and metastases began to develop. For researchers, there is no doubt that aluminum salts are the root of the problem. ” It is clear that it is an indictment which is heavier against these salts », Estimates Professor André Pascal Sappino.
80% of tumors identified in the armpit
But how to explain this phenomenon? The researchers found that 80% of the tumors were identified in the upper outer quadrant of the armpit, ” where the lymphatic network is located that drains the mammary gland », Specifies Parisian Prof. Sappino. As a precautionary principle, it therefore recommendsavoid buying products that contain these salts.
But are there deodorants without side effects for health? Sure ! Many brands have developed ranges of 100% organic deodorants. Other alternatives also exist to avoid sweating without endangering your health. We recommend in particular baking soda. Put a few teaspoons of it in a spray bottle with water and use it as a deodorant.
