Anti-perspirants/alzheimers connection
i've previously heard lots of claims about the diseases caused by the chemicals in deodorants. just today i've heard claims for both alzheimers (which i've never heard before) and breast cancer (which i have).
I have heard many claims about anti-perspirants causing all sorts of maladies. I've heard this particular claim too. I rarely use any anti-perspirants or deodorants, which, probably sounds funky to you. But for some bizarre reason, I have not been afflicted by the B.O. monster. The only times any natural body odor occurs is after a really hard workout. I guess physiologically, I'm an anomaly. But I don't mind it.
My wife marvels at how I can avoid it.
So I guess in a way its good for me that I don't use anti-perspirants at all. However, it is entirely likely that whatever chemical or heavy metal is in these products are more than likely in many products, like Jon said, cookware.
Something is causing more and more cases of alzheimers. And I'd be willing to bet it is something we are ingesting or are absorbing. Its probably one of those things that is cumulative, like lead or mercury, which might account why some people do not get it.
Sure, we could surmise that it is purely a biological disorder that is passed down from generation to generation, but then, why is the frequency increasing?

Re: Anti-perspirants/alzheimers connection
i'm willing to bet that once again it's not cases that are increasing, but diagnosis. old people have always gone out of their minds.
Yes, I would agree that there has always been dementia in the elderly. I suppose a misdiagnosis is entirely possible, which gives the appearance of more cases.
