...like cancer? I've heard that because it blocks the sweat glands, something or other happens. Is this true?

propylene glycol in almost all deodorants gets in the body through deodorant I don't think its impossible to realize it is causing cancer, it's right near the breast and lympnods.
It's not a risk I'm willing to take and makes plenty of sense , since the breast cancer rate has gone up it probably match's when the started putting this into our skin care products.
I check all my beauty and hair products and it's shocking how many items have this ingredient it's even in junk food!!! it was in my Bed head hair products, face creams, candy bars, it's a cheap filler to keep things "moist" that tells me too that the product is not doing it's job if it's filled with a cheap substance instead of the more important ingredients.
Your body doesn't know what to do with it and it STAYS in the body, in the fatty tissues (ps your brain is this type of tissue too) There are deodorants with out but I have to seen an anti presperant with it actually I haven't seen or hear of a anti presperant that doesn't have aluminum which is also not good for your body.
i'll keep my breast thank you very much.

anti perspirant deoderants are proven to cause pimples for the reason you gave. other health problems also result from its use, but the cancer aspect is difficult to prove. It is suspected to cause cancer due to the high chemical content, such as propellants, preservatives, and odour blockers. Many people get rash and dermatitis from anti-P due to the abrasive, superfine particles of aluminum in the mix.
The alternative is to buy antiperspirants from your local health food store, that are made from 100% natural, organic ingredients like essential oils and refined alcohol.

On some of the containers it has "aluminum some-thing-another" on it. It's supposed to contribute to Alzheimer's.

I heard that too, and also that they contain some substances that go to the lymph and could cause cancer. I still use them though!
