A member asked:
We mix sodium bicarbonate with water and use it as deodorant (armpits)..it works perfectly..but is it safe?!

It's safe: It doesn't work very well. Nowadays if you have body odor, you'll be at risk to lose your job and nobody will tell you the real reason. You also can't smell yourself. The old lie about ordinary deodorants causing cancer was traced back to a guy selling a phony mineral deodorant. Be smart.
