Do you all believe that deodorant with aluminum in it is actually bad for you?

I know some people look for alternatives nowadays because the aluminum supposedly makes you crazy and causes health problems. Do y'all think it's worth it to give up deodorant and find alternatives?

I just wrap my armpits with Reynolds wrap instead. Might as well speed up the process

I heard that it causes Alzheimer’s, but my grandma never used deodorant and had a severe case of the disease

So

I switched to a natural deodorant and it works just fine. Your body adapts after a while

I believe slathering my body with any metal on a daily basis for decades is not good.

It’s actually anti-perspirant that contains the aluminum compound that clogs up one’s pores. Plain deodorant does not.

Wife went on a crusade to get us off aluminum deodorant. Eventually found a brand called Natural that works well for me and has some really good scents. Smelled like a yeti for 2 months while going through the different options though!

It could possibly be harmful...but then again we were chewing on lead paint toys for decades.

Aluminum is not a danger. I grew up with Magnalite pots and my grandma used to make the best gumbo ever. She used to make her own andouille and not the sausage kind, but the kind with ham like chunks in it. Now, ham is really good, but you have to make sure that your ham isn't a country ham that you're trying to cook like a city ham, and you don't cook city ham like a country ham. You have to make sure your pork is well treated. Like bacon, bacon is delicious, but it's loaded with nitrates. Oddly enough, nitrogen is a huge component of explosives. When you bind a lot of nitrogen together, it just wants to be gas again. You pop it a little bit and BOOM. Now, Boom was a good coach here, but he had troubles after he left here. Not such a great head coach.

Hang on. Let me get a sip.

What were we talking about?

Why would you knowingly put chem trails under your arms?

No, because I'm not fricking stupid. I also don't worry about chemtrails, GMO's, or lizard people.

I do worry about the illuminati though. That shite's real.

I believe that regular Old Spice deodorant works fine.

I have used Natural as well. Mainly trying to find deodorant that doesnt stain shirts. Some reviews said it doesnt. Well it does, worse than the Old Spice I used. It does work well though
