Can't he get one of those organic deodorants that are supposed to not cause cancer?

Face, meet palm. No deodorant causes cancer. Unless of course you want your pits to always smell uranium fresh!

Not exactly true. While it is unlikely that deodorant will give you cancer, most deodorants on the market do contain aluminum, a heavy metal that can cause cancer with enough exposure over years.

You know how much deodorant you'd have to use to get cancer from it? Probably 5 sticks a day. I highly doubt anyone uses THAT much..

Aluminum foil also contains aluminum. And a lot of other objects contain the metal. The SUN causes cancer if you stand in its rays for too long.

I know that I'm probably going to get thumbed down for this because I'm an idiot or I'm thread jacking or something but, where the hell is comment number 1 ?

I know thread jacking is only when you comment on somebody else's comment but, this was suppose to be commented on number 2's comment

what made him come to that conclusion?

It's not deoderant, it's antipersperants that are a risk due to the zinc in them. Your brother needs to research this more

Zinc causes health problems? Shit. I've been giving that stuff to my Pokemon.

Deodorant doesn't cause cancer, but antiperspirant can cause memory loss.

So that's why I keep forgetting my homework!

Best! No homework excuse I've ever heard!!!! Tell your teacher that!!! Maybe they'll get a laugh and give you a pass for that day's homework! (who knows? I've seen my teachers do stranger things)

Well i did a project bout it n chances are its true. But that is due to a ingredient found mainly in women's deodorant.

If he showers after going to the gym, what's the problem? I only use natural deodorant because I've heard the whole "deodorant causes cancer" thing and I'm not taking any chances...

Everything causes cancer. Whether it be a cell phone or a computer to canned food, it all causes cancer. Besides we all have to die some day might as well live it up and make the best of it.

#113 I know...Those "risks" don't stop me from using cell phones and such. I'm just saying, it's my personal preference to use natural deodorant because giving up regular deodorant isn't difficult. Of course I'm not going to give up using my cell phone.
