Let you perspire


Ah you thought the one sitting beside you was unhygienic. You could see the damp area around the armpit. You squirmed. You wrinkled your nose.

You should know that that person has a lesser chance of getting a breast cancer than you.

A few days ago, I received an email by a friend. I used to have a habit of deleting forwarded emails, not bothering to read it before putting it in the trash can. I always assumed they were all useless, chained emails and I couldn't care less.


But this habit died a while ago, fortunately. The email i received a few days ago was an important one. I came across this email once back then but thought it was just another worthless email that I shouldn't bother my life with. But a few days ago, I read it again, and thought this could be true.

"The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.

What? A concentration of toxins and leads to cell mutations,a.k.a.CANCER

Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not.

Here's why:- The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge toxins; behind the knees , behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant , as the name clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins
from below the armpits.

These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located.

Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by anti- perspirant usage because most of the anti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directly applied to the skin.

Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.

PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about.

Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save lives."

Spend a minute of your spare time and have a think about it. I have done mine, and I am throwing away my anti-perspirant.
