Express (UK) ^ | February 8, 2016 | Oli Smith

“Could be”.

Most probably not..

This is simply today’s danger report.

Blindly reported by your uninformed MSM bottom of the SAT crowd.

This has been reported for thirty or forty years.

Would be more dangerous sitting next to a sweating gorilla on a 10 plus hour flight.

We had to request the flight attendant to move a young man sitting next to us once he smelled so bad.

Where they apparently feel the same way about toothpaste.

We will see if it has any negative effects over the next 65 years. So far so good.

They always lump both together in studies but then when you read about it you see that it’s antiperspirants that cause problems, not deodorants. This has been known for a long time. Neither is best but try to explain that to your co-workers after you’ve gone a couple days without deodorant. Natural deodorants can be very effective. Antiperspirants can be very harmful.

Take an occasional shower and you tend to avoid the dangerous bacteria.

I’ve been making my own. I have to reapply half way through the day, but I’m fine with that. Things change when the doc says cancer.

And where they have made the mothers so afraid of their children getting some sun that rickets is making a comeback due to using sunscreen all the time.

I have stopped using Aluminum deodorant under my arms. I am sure it is too late to do any good.

Once I moved away from the Florida sauna I found I rarely have any need for a deodorant.

Just make your own deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc...with natural products. Less expensive and safer.

But you won't have those stains anymore.

Underarm stains in shirts are the result of using anti-antiperspirant with aluminum in it. It's the Al that stains.

If you just use a deodorant, no stains.

LOL! Have you ever ridden the “tube” in London during rush hour? Don’t think there’s much to worry about with the deodorant issue.
