I didn't realize that many deodorants have aluminum in them. I wanted to know if this can be dangerous? Is the aluminum actually absorbed into the body? Is it a neurotoxin? Anyone know? Or know of a website that could answer these questions?

No. The aluminum is in an oxidized state, just as it is in most of the rocks on the planet.

Yes, it is harmful. Anything you put on your skin is absorbed. If you take a shower in polluted water, your body absorbs it. If you wear a nicotine patch, your body absorbs it.
The largest manufacturer of non-stick pans, TEFLON, announced about a year ago, that within 7 years they will have voluntarily taken their non-stick pans off the market. Now, why would they do that? VOLUNTARILY?
Have you noticed that soda bottles are coming back? All the people who are now coming down with Alzheimer's and other diseases are from the generation when aluminum became more and more popular.

Yes aluminum is absorbed into our bodies, and they find alot of aluminum in the brains of alzheimers patients. If you go to the health food store you will see deodorants without aluminum. We also arent supposed to use aluminum cookware.

Diet Soda's are like poison, seriously...they are full of chemicals and fake things that are hard on your body to process. Also after awhile, your body begins to recognize fake sugar as real sugar in your system and gains weight with diet soda. You would be better off drinking regular soda then diet. Because at least there aren't as many chemicals in real soda. Did you know that when women are having fertility issues, the doctors will tell them to STOP drinking diet soda. That's how bad it is. It prevents pregnancy. Try Hansen's Natural soda or Sparkling lemon mineral water by Arrowhead if you want bubbles. Drink tea or coffee to get your caffeine. You can do it!

This has been argued both ways. I have one concrete personal piece of evidence. Whenever we fed our children food that we cooked in aluminum or teflon-coated cookware, their skin turned red like they were very embarrassed or had a fresh sunburn. We stopped cooking with aluminum. I stopped using deodorant with aluminum. I minimize my intake of cakes etc. made with baking powder. It just isn't worth it.
Aluminum is definitely considered poisonous. The only question was whether it is absorbed via these sources.

It depends upon who you ask. Wikipedia has the most information as far as I can tell, but the article itself has problems. Supposedly the antiperspirant clogs up your sweat glands, but you've got all the rest of your body for sweating. And the toxicity of poisons can depend up their chemical form and how you are exposed to them. There's a world of difference between getting something on your skin, eating it, inhaling it, or getting it intravenously. I don't see that any has actually demonstrated a cause and effect relationship between deodorant/antiperspirant use and health problems.

O.M.G.!!!!!!
I totally know the answer to this question, yes it could be harmful and yes there is aluminum in it, my mother told me about this while we were shopping at Costco! In fact she told me with as often as I was applying it (two times a day every day) it left me vulnerable to Alzhiemers Disease. So now I go with Suave 24 hour Deordorant and aplly every Mon., Wed., and Fri's. So given your question I could only make an assumption that it "could" do what you have mentioned. Also speak to your babys Dr. Reason being they could really give you more insight than I could and also becase of rule number "ONE" for any patient "Do no harm to your patient" rule. Good luck!

i have read that Al could be a cause of Alzheimers Disease, but that could be old news.
google alzheimers web site...then there is always WebMD, or Dogpile
how about the government agency for infectious diseases.
consumer reports??

This is an old Internet/Email rumor that somehow your deodorant is giving you breast cancer or is killing you somehow. It's totally false.
