Chemicals in Deodorant Links to Cancer
Chemicals in Deodorant links to Cancer
The word says that we are destroyed for lack of knowledge, don’t ignore this knowledge, it could save your life.
The most common group of chemicals found in cosmetics and deodorants has been detected for the first time in human breast cancer tissue.
The chemicals found are called PARABENS. These chemicals are the most widely used preservatives in the US according to the FDA.
They are commonly used in shampoo, foundations, facial mask, hair grooming aids, nail creams, and permanent wave products.
Other names used for this same ingredient are
• Methylparaben
• Proplyparaben
• Ethylparaben
• Butylparaben
The greatest concern is in the underarm deodorants and anti-perspirant products since they are applied topically and absorbed through the skin.
Parabens were detected in 100% of breast cancer tumors tested by oncology expert Phillippa Darbre, a lecturer in cellular and molecular biology at Britain’s Reading University.
Research suggests that parabens act like estrogen in the body and promote tumor growth at the cellular level.
Researcher Phillippa Darbre says, “We have always been assured that parabens could not get into the body. This study shows that it does”.
Another recent study suggests that 76% of all cancers in the US are linked to chemical poisoning.

• Cleanse so that you don’t need any deodorant.
