Can deodorant contribute to cancer?

I heard that constantly putting on deodorant can block the bacteria from getting out and can help contribute to cancer. Is this true? Please list sources.

Can deodorant contribute to cancer?
There is no scientific evidence at all that deodorant and anti-perspirant cause cancer, contribute to it, or affect its progress in any way.





It's an urbam myth/legend.





The widespread belief that deodorants and anti-perspirants can cause breast cancer is due largely to a hoax email that was widely circulated.

Reply:Bacteria aren't inside you. And even if they were, they don't cause cancer. Sweat glands are not there to eliminate bacteria or "toxins." They are there to cool the body, when sweat evaporates the body is cooled.





Not wearing antiperspirant won't prevent cancer, and wearing it doesn't cause cancer. But it might make you stink more.
Reply:People have been saying this for years and it's not true.


People will tell you that anything causes cancer and it's probably true, but that's because we use so many synthetic products and ingest products without thinking about what's in them.





Just live your life and don't worrry about every little thing that MIGHT cause cancer or you'll kill yourself from the stress of worrying about it (literally!)
Reply:No, deodorant does not cause cancer. You can go to WebMD, Snopes.com, and the American Cancer Society for sources.
