Deodorant Doesn’t Cause Breast Cancer
For the past few years this idiotic rumor that underarm deodorant contributes to breast cancer has been circulating around the Internet. To put the rumor to rest, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle put it to the test and found, not surprisingly, that there was no link between deodorant and breast cancer.
The study included 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women without breast cancer. They were interviewed about their personal habits as they pertained to underarm deodorant usage and underarm shaving.
They found no increased risk for breast cancer related to either underarm deodorant usage or underarm shaving.
