That is not a dumb question, but you can google that yourself. But to help you out, no it is another Urban Myth.
Email rumors surfaced on the Internet in the early 1990s that antiperspirants have a link in causing breast cancer; these are now widely considered to be an urban myth. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer Society (ACS), these rumors are largely unsubstantiated by scientific research. An example of this rumor from Nelson Bay NSW is that in 2001 a 14 year old girl called James Dobson went on ACA (a current affair) saying that she had breast cancer, but it ended up just being that she had an unusual mole growth caused by an allergic reaction to the aluminium oxide in the deodorant
