A Safer Alternative that is free of aluminium salts

Scientists at Reading Universityhave published a research that points to the possible link between the use of anti-perspirants containing aluminium and the rising rates of breast cancer. Over the past 25 years, cases of breast cancer in Britain have doubled from about 20,000 per year in the late 1970s to  almost 40,000 per year.

“Cases of breast cancer in Britain have doubled to about 40,000 per year”

One theory behind this possible link is that the majority of anti-perspirants contain chemicals such as zirconium and aluminium that are absorbed through the hair follicles in the skin where they react with water and cause swelling. Researchers had originally thought that blocking perspiration could lead to a build up of toxins in the lympth nodes in the armpit and over the years contribute to chnages near the breast. Researchers now think there may be another way in which anti-perspirants may increase the cancer risk. In recent laboratory tests, aluminium and zirconium have been found to enter the cells and cause mutations in DNA that could lead to cancerous growth and may also disrupt hormone levels.

• Is there a link?

Underarm anti-perspirants may contribute to the risk of breast cancer because they contain aluminium salts with metal ions that mimic the effect of oestrogen. “Since oestrogen is known to be involved in the development of human breast cancer, any components in the environment that have oestrogennic activity and which can enter the human breast could theoretically influence women’s risk of breast cancer”, says author of the review, Dr Phillippa Daibre, who works in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading.

We are surrounded by carcinogens and we may not be able to handle beyon some amount, so the sensible thing is not to add to your exposure unnecessarily.
