No, it doesn’t.
Anti-perspirant can cause ducts in the armpit to clog, causing a backup of sweat and a swollen duct. People have simply taken this knowledge and blown it into the myth that deodorant causes breast cancer.
Deodorant has nothing to do with breast cancer.
I have never heard of a direct cancer link.Personally when I use certain deodorants the lymph nodes in my armpits swell and it becomes painful.It takes as long as two days for the swelling to go down.I have to use a special deodorant now that costs about $20.
when researchers looked at the cancer found in patients, it had ‘parabens’ in it. this is an ingredient found in most synthetic deodorants…..so most people believe this causes breast cancer. its not proven yet…but still. and aluminum is also in it and that is very harmful. deodorant also can glod lymph glands (they filter out waste and toxins out of your body, so when they become clogged, problems arise..possibly cancer)
use a natural deodorant. theres tons that work.
