I mean, look at all the acronyms after this doctor's name. Clearly he is expert. And his argument seems plausible to anyone who has not studied physics.
Here's another one that is not quite as clear-cut: 'Anti-perspirants Cause Cancer'.

""There is no convincing evidence that antiperspirant or deodorant use increases cancer risk," Ted S. Gansler, MD, MBA, director of medical content for the American Cancer Society"
Ah. Good. The American Cancer Society says anti-perspirants don't cause cancer. To be safe, let's check one more...
"Because studies of antiperspirants and deodorants and breast cancer have provided conflicting results, additional research is needed to investigate this relationship and other factors that may be involved."

oh... but a US government site says it is unclear. Better dig a little more...
"Clinical studies ... provide supporting evidence for a role for locally applied cosmetic chemicals in the development of breast cancer."

Shit. The NIH says it does?
Better check Snopes before throwing away the Right Guard...

FALSE. 'Nuff said.

- lern_too_spel 11y agoYour analysis of antiperspirants and cancer is completely wrong, and you've likely fooled several people because you claim to have analyzed it correctly. The fourth link isn't the NIH's official position — it's just a paper hosted on an NIH paper-hosting service (PubMed). The Snopes link doesn't say that antiperspirants don't cause cancer — it merely states that they aren't the leading cause of breast cancer. The real takeaway is that the studies are inconclusive and more research is needed before you can state that they are or are not carcinogenic with any degree of confidence.
