While using antiperspirant deodorant:

-No smell

-No sweat

How does the antiperspirant work?

-It clogs sweat ducts with aluminum

compounds.

Page 3: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

Excessive aluminum concentrations

cause:

-estrogen like effects that stimulate breast

cancer cell growth.

-cell membranes more fluid.

Page 4: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

Sweat Regulates:

Body Temperature

=can be affected by heat absorption.

-so darker races sweat more due to

light attraction by pigmentation.

Page 5: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

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

Page 6: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

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.

Page 7: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

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.

Page 9: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

• 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?

Page 10: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

Antiperspirant deodorant causes:

-Breast cancer

-trap toxins in the body

-Aluminum concentrations can further

harm the human body.

-Is linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

Page 11: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

The more a person sweats while using

the antiperspirant deodorant the more

probability for additional health

problems.

Page 12: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

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.

Page 13: Long term effects of antiperspirant deodorant1

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.
