Yes. The person who provided that other link needs to do more research. Never trust any government source for information, especially the FDA.
Deodorants contain parabens which have been linked to cancer. I only use deodorants that are paraben free.

No but after a series of studies in labs all around the world it was discovered that in every case of cancer in lab animals, the room was illuminated by fluorescent lighting!

Our armpits are the most susceptible place on our bodies to chemical absorption, so probably true.
