The last scientific article I read says no.
The only issue is that if you are planning on having a mamogram, you should not wear any anti-perspirant that contains aluminum (most do). The auminum causes the mamogram to have hazy spots-really no harm, but make the image not as readable.

Let me tell you from experience, I use Certain DRI for my breast. Women do sweat under their breast and ya man does not like that "wet" feeling or smell when ya intimate or just fooling around, it also works great in the summer time to use deodorant under the breast to prevent chapping, sweating and odor. True it does keep you dry, but this product cause me to have a really bad reaction, my skin turned beet red and started to peel as if I had been burned. I am of African American decent and that did not look good at all, my husband thought I got burned cooking or something. As far as it causing cancer check your facts, you can even call the company like I did and if that doesn't work as your doctor.

ALL antiperspirant contains aluminum. But this is not a factor with breast cancer.
There have been some studies on this and the conclusion was that this can be a cause for Alzheimers disease later in life. (I'm still not sure if I believe this).
I was kinda scared when I read the studies, but what i do is to try to use a smaller amount that'll still do the trick.
Again, this is not brand-specific. All antiperspirant contains some form of aluminum.

Not true, blondie. It's an urban legend or myth.

I was informed to NOT use anti-perspirant..use deodorant. it is healthier for all, both male and female. it wont clog pores, or cause reactions in the system.. you still wont 'stink'
