Question: What is the latest research on the link between Breast Ca and deodorants/anti persperants!?
My niece died of Breast Cancer at 32 yrs old and her young 8 yr old is needing to use an antipersperant due to strong odour irrespective of frequent washing!. I read somewhere that some anti per or deoderants could cause Breast Cancer so need more info!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There is no scientific evidence at all that deodorant and anti-perspirant cause or contribute to any cancer!. The widespread belief that they cause breast cancer is due largely to a hoax email that was widely circulated!.

For the facts read:

http://www!.cancerhelp!.org!.uk/help/defaul!.!.!.

http://info!.cancerresearchuk!.org/healthy!.!.!.

Also, contrary to what someone else has said, only 5- 10% of breast cancer cases are genetic!. Most are random!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The National Cancer Institute is the nation's leading agency on cancer research, and they have a fact sheet specifically addressing this question!. View it at: http://www!.cancer!.gov/cancertopics/facts!.!.!.

Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
