Can someone explain the problem with aluminum?

Old Spice original or sport

I use Old Spice Swagger and like the scent.

I bought Dove for Men for my elderly father. He says it works better than the brand he used previously. He likes the body wash too so I purchase a few gift sets at Christmas which takes care of him for a year.

Ban Unscented Roll-On

That’s right; I said it.

Been using it for decades but also have a stick of some Arm & Hammer solid when I want a change of pace.

In short, there have been studies that have linked it to breast cancer.

But I believe those studies have not been able to establish a causation between breast cancer and aluminum absorbed from antiperspirant.

It is generally the aluminum that causes yellow staining in white shirts, however.

If I could find a decent antiperspirant without aluminum, that would be ideal. Sweat is more of a priority than smell.

I switched from antiperspirant to deodorant a few years ago, and I found that I sweat less now.
