Anti-perspirants contain aluminium compounds. It has been found that
users of such anti perspirants are more prone to cancers associated with
a build-up of aluminium compounds in the tissues.

Is that true, or a fallacy ?

It was an item in a programme like Medicine Now, Casenotes or similar on
Rajo4 or World Service a few months ago, so I'd say it was true...



They did say that there was (as yet) no evidence as to whether it was
the cause of the cancer, or the cancer was the cause of the absorbtion.

However, it did seem to find that people who used those deodorants who
had the cancer, absorbed aluminium compounds, especially from underarm
ones.

(Modern first-class cricketers should be exempt, as underarm deliveries
are no longer legal...)
