The dangers of wearing too much deodorant?

I don't have a real problem when it comes to body odor but I do have this obsession of constantly reapplying antiperspirant. I use Secret Platinum (the solid deodorant) in the scent Vanilla Chai. I just can't get enough of this wonderful soft musky fragrance which has led me to use the deodorant as a perfume rather than an antiperspirant.





I did some research to find out whether too much deodorant may be hazardous to my health and I came along these two articles:

I wonder if the are other health concerns or disadvantages involving the use of too much antiperspirant. What do you think?

The dangers of wearing too much deodorant?
Like your 2nd article said, antiperspirants contain aluminum (not deoderants, but if they're also antiperspirants they do), which has been linked to Alzheimers Disease. They haven't yet been able to link using antiperspirants with Alzheimers directly, but they know that the brains of Alzheimers patients contained more aluminum than people who died without Alzheimers. After seeing my grandmother die of that, I can tell you it's a horrible way to go, so I'm trying to use deoderants and not antiperspirants.
Reply:this doesnt really pertain to your question but im fairly sure theres a body mist in the same scent, it might be spray deodorant but i dont think so (and even if it was you could mist your body / clothes with that and it'd probably be a lot better for you)

Reply:There are disadvantages to not sweating because our bodies were designed to sweat to rid ourselves of toxins.
Reply:Not all deodorants have aluminum in them. Read the ingredients before buying. Also some makeup and eye makeup have aluminum in them so read those packages to.
