Not really…. It just might, at least in some cases.

Aluminum, apparently does have a negative effect on breast tissue. The first article states,"Clinical studies in 2004 reported increased levels of genomic instability in outer regions of the breast in histologically normal tissue [24], which was suggested to result from exposure to genotoxic chemicals in that region [25]. Instability of the genome is an important contributor to genetic changes that drive carcinogenic processes, and in accordance with the cancer field theory could provide a milieu where genetically altered cells would be more susceptible to the development of cancer [5,24,25]."
And also that, "The active antiperspirant agents are aluminium salts - and aluminium has a known genotoxic profile [26,27], and aluminium chlorhydrate has been shown active in the Comet assay [28]. Use of these salts in cosmetics relies on the inability of the antiperspirant complexes to be absorbed [8]. Dermal absorption of aluminium from topically applied antiperspirant aluminium chlorhydrate, however, has been demonstrated through intact human skin of the underarm [29], and aluminium was measured in human breast tissue at greater levels in outer quadrants than in inner quadrants [30]. Clinical consequences arising from absorbed antiperspirant salts were described in a case study in 2004 reporting adverse bone pain and fatigue associated with toxic blood levels of aluminium, both of which disappeared after discontinuing antiperspirant use [31].

I use one by Arm & Hammer, that a poster above mentioned. I have used it for years, and it works well. Read the ingredients list carefully though, so you get the correct one.

What about antiperspirants? Don't they help you from sweating out and deodorants help keep odors at bay?
Or are you okay with just the deodorant alone?

Tom's of Maine. I have been using it for years and it is aluminum-free. I never perspire and really can go without deodorant. That isn't exactly healthy (to never sweat) but that's me. I never had hot flashes during menopause either.
