Antiperspirant Myth

If you heard the myth about antiperspirants causing breast cancer, you don't have to worry. Dr. Pamela Goodwin is telling her patients that there in no connection between the two, and she is the director of the Marvelle Koffler Beast Center at Mt. Sinai Hospital. She thinks that the rumor got started because of the closeness of the areas affected. She bases her ideas on research that does not show a huge jump in cases of breast cancer after antiperspirants were introduced onto the market.

The links that she does associate with breast cancer are possibly, birth control/ hormoner eplacement therapy, having children later in life, carrying extra weight and then she stresses that it is only a possibility. they may contribute but it still isn't certain.

And yes, Dr. Goodwin does apply an antiperpirant everyday.
