The only problem with this, is that aluminum-based anti-perspirants have been proven to increase the chance of alzheimers later in life.
Actually there is no causal link... Heres a good site about alzheimers http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/Facts_about_dementia/Risk_factors/info_aluminium.htm Here's a snippet: "The overwhelming medical and scientific opinion is that the findings outlined above do not convincingly demonstrate a causal relationship between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease, and that no useful medical or public health recommendations can be made, at least at present."
Holy crap! Awesome. I can go back to anti-perspirant/deoderant without fear of not remembering my name later in life.
I thought the problem with aluminium based anti-perspirants was that they worked by blocking up the sweat pores. Surely that's a bad thing? I'm going on a dodgy memory of what was originally hearsay though, so feel free to correct.
Agreed Su Lin! I have this picture that you will retain all the water that you would normally lose to sweating, swell up like a water balloon, and then POP! Just like that Senator in X-Men! Not a pretty sight for a Panda either!
