A member asked:
Do antiperspirants/deodorants cause breast cancer? i have tried natural products that don't contain aluminum or other potential hazardous chemicals, but they don't help with my body odor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They have many ingredients some of which have been implicated but not proven to cause cancer. If you worry don't use them and try soap and water. A paste made of baking soda (powdered mixed with a little water) works as a very good de-odorizer
