Anti-perspirants cause problems since they have aluminum and prevent toxins from being released. Should we be using them vs. deodorants?
It’s nearly impossible to avoid aluminum in today’s world, from cookware to deodorant/antiperspirants. This metal can cause lung damage if large amounts are inhaled, and is considered a neurotoxin, or a poison to the brain and nervous system. However, aluminum is very poorly absorbed, making oral intake from cookware or foods less concerning, according to the CDC. A report published in the February 2001 issue of “Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology” notes that less than 1 percent of ingested aluminum gets into the blood, most of which is excreted in the urine.
