While using antiperspirant deodorant: -No smell -No sweat How does the antiperspirant work? -It clogs sweat ducts with aluminum

compounds.

Excessive aluminum concentrations cause:

-estrogen like effects that stimulate breast cancer cell growth.

-cell membranes more fluid.

Sweat Regulates: Body Temperature =can be affected by heat absorption. -so darker races sweat more due

to light attraction by pigmentation.

High aluminum concentrations: -Make cell membranes more fluid.

Like the disease Alzheimer’s which is why this is linked to the disease.

Experiments with aluminum in blood: -prove that it causes fluidity in cell

membrane

A safe consumption of aluminum: -<5 μg/kg/day. Most of it is removed by the kidneys. Any higher consumption can lead to

many other symptons.

Sweat Toxins: Dermcidin =Regulates the skin flora, functions

as a natural antibiotic. Any substance absorbed needs to be

released. -Ex. Nicotine from cigarettes.

To find and avoid a probable cause of breast cancer.

This may cause breast cancer because:

-Toxins from sweat mutate lymphatic nodules from the nearby area.

• Do antiperspirant deodorants stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells?

• Do they cause harm to any other part of the human body?

• What is the quantity of aluminum being absorbed by the users?

Antiperspirant deodorant causes: -Breast cancer -trap toxins in the body -Aluminum concentrations can further

harm the human body. -Is linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

The more a person sweats while using the antiperspirant deodorant the more probability for additional health problems.

Primarily: -Survey a population of 300 people. =Find out those who have used

antiperspirant deodorant for more than a year.

This would take convincing those who use the antiperspirant deodorant to volunteer for an serum aluminum test which indicates the level of aluminum in blood.

Volunteers will be notified of their rights. At least 50 control and 50 experimental

volunteers will be needed. Ask for history of cancer in family. Exercise is questioned. Race. Compare the levels of aluminum between

control and experimental, the normal level of aluminum in blood, race and amount of exercise.
