PAUSE FOR PREVENTION // The Deodorant Issue

Blog

The subject of antiperspirants and deodorants and breast cancer is a little confusing, to say the least. There were some Internet rumors that started around 1999 that antiperspirants cause breast cancer and that you should stop using those products immediately. This caused a stir in the scientific community and the public wanted to know first: is this true? When the scientific community said they just plain “didn’t know,” the public pressured for studies to be done. But the studies done were not “done” very well, and usually funded by companies that had a hand in the billion dollar antiperspirant industry. This lead to conflicting results. Here are the facts…you make your decision.
