The REAL Reason Why Antiperspirants Can Radically Increase Your Risk of Breast Cancer
Posted By Dr. Mercola | May 04 2012
New research examining parabens found in cancerous human breast tissue points another finger at antiperspirants for increasing your risk of breast cancer. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, looked at where breast tumors were appearing, and determined that higher concentrations of parabens were found in the upper quadrants of the breast and axillary area, where deodorants are usually applied.
Parabens are chemicals that serve as preservatives in antiperspirants and many cosmetics, as well as sun lotions. Previous studies have shown that all parabens have estrogenic activity in human breast cancer cells. Another component of antiperspirants, aluminum chloride, has been found to act similarly to the way oncogenes work to provide molecular transformations in cancer cells. The study's authors said their study showed "signals of concern that such compounds are not as safe as previously generally considered, and further research is warranted."
