Can you get breast cancer by long-term use of underarm antiperspirant?

Antiperspirants can easily lead to breast cancer, because chemical reasons to avoid sweating will prevent toxins from being discharged from armpits, but these toxins will not disappear, but will be stored in axillary lymph nodes because they can't sweat. Almost all breast cancers occur in the upper part of the outer side of the breast, that is, where the lymph nodes are located.

Lymph nodes are the only way for lymphatic reflux. The former helps the body to remove bacteria, viruses and other substances, and the latter is a liquid flowing in lymphatic vessels, which contains a variety of plasma proteins. Lymph nodes do not excrete these substances by sweating. Therefore, the use of antiperspirants will not interfere with the function of lymph nodes.

In medicine, lymphadenopathy may occur only after breast cancer metastasis. It is untenable to reverse the two. This means that axillary lymph nodes stored with toxins will not cause breast cancer. What's more, it is not clear what the so-called "toxin" is; There are no reports of breast cancer caused by toxins in medical journals.

In order to clarify the relationship between antiperspirants and breast cancer, last August 1 1 day, the American Cancer Society (ACS) also issued a special statement saying that the use of antiperspirants would increase the risk of breast cancer, which is not supported by the existing medical literature. Therefore, Mirika in seattle university, USA made a detailed study. In a paper published in the Journal of National Cancer Institute in 2002, he investigated 8 13 women with breast cancer and compared it with 793 normal women. It was found that the occurrence of breast cancer had nothing to do with the use of antiperspirant or deodorant and underarm hair removal.

Can the chemicals in antiperspirant be absorbed by human body through hair follicles and cause cancer? According to ACS, antiperspirants may cause slight irritation to people with underarm skin infections, but they will not be the main carcinogen of breast cancer. You know, it is still a question whether these substances can reach breast cells.

At present, there is no clear statement that antiperspirants cause cancer in the world. If it's not to avoid the smell of sweat under your arms disturbing people, it's best to use it as little as possible.
