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...)

That is me out then! Never could throw a ball overarm My boys were
definitely not impressed
