I would also point to the effects of lipid peroxidation, of which it sounds like the “toxic proteins” at the root of the matter may be a product of. In any case, I’ve gone back to using normal deodorant.

- mjevans 4y agoI can't stand perfumes and in the past I've had reactions to antiperspirants. So: Daily shower with soap and water. Ideally after any workout (so the closer to a blue collar day I've had the later the shower).

- bigDinosaur 4y agoI think a lot of people overuse deodorants and anti-perspirants. But now I wonder how many people don't shower every day and thus do really need to use them.
- pjerem 4y agoNah. I shower at least once a day, sometimes two and still I will perspire as soon as I walk. And I would even say that I sweat a lot less when I can’t shower, which could make sense given that taking a shower basically removes the oily film of the skin. tbf, while I take a shower everyday because it feels good (and it’s what is socially acceptable), I really think we are not made to be washed frequently. I doubt our hunter-gatherers washed themselves everyday with soap. Yes we have better hygiene but still, I doubt our skin like it.
- jtbayly 4y agoCan you point me to anything to read on why you’d want to do that?

- astrange 4y agoWhat kinds of deodorant aren't "normal"?
- rileyphone 4y agoOnes without aluminum based ingredients - there was some science that indicated aluminum caused Alzheimer's but I think the evidence has shifted towards other things enough that they're fine. The alternatives were brands like Tom's that just didn't function like the real thing.
