What I've seen in literature is using deodorant AND shaving one's armpits may increase risk of breast cancer. It was not scientific, but the hunch of an organization of survivor spouses. Plucking axillary hair would probably be similar to shaving.

No, it does not cause cancer. Lots of people get the disease that do not pluck or wax their underarms. However, it can cause pain, a rash. damage to the skin and ingrown hairs.

Your friend is being silly and probably passing on a rumor she's heard.
Plucking the pit hairs does not cause cancer, through it will prove to be painful and I'd advise shaving or waxing.
Plucking the pit hairs will only traumatize the hair follicle and not the glands,

What a crazy idea your friend had and where on this earth did she get such an answer. Certainly not true. Breast cancer is often inheirited diease , that's why it is important you get yearly check ups and based upon your age ammo-grams are done.

Cancer can be caused by chemical toiletries and parasites and processed food
Eat fresh n natural
Use natural / organic toiletries and dish detergent
Use a zapper to kill parasites
Take olive leaf extract and vita klenz to kill the rest of the parasites

No, People who wax don't get cancer from waxing (So plucking won't make a difference!)

Your thoughts really scare me, would you really tear out your underarm hair. You have to be a tough babe.

no. If that's the case, then you couldn't wax, either. Would bikini waxing cause ovarian cancer?
