How to Prevent Alzheimers

Is There the Danger of Alzheimer's Lurking in Your Antiperspirant?...

...How to prevent alzheimers - Antiperspirants containing aluminum and other chemicals of questionable safety may pose a health risk. However, there are safe alternatives.

Finding safe products is easy with the resources found in "Dying To Look Good".

Antiperspirants contain aluminum, which has been associated with Alzheimer's disease, as well as memory, kidney and urological problems, mouth ulcers and mineral malabsorption. There is even some evidence that there may be an association between antiperspirants and breast cancer.

The industry and the FDA maintain there is no cause for concern, but not everyone agrees. Even the major cancer organizations won't rule out a link between antiperspirants and breast cancer.

What we do know about Alzheimers is that chemicals in products used on the skin can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. There is some research that connects Alzheimer's and aluminum.  But aluminum is not the only ingredient in antiperspirants that is a source of concern. Some other ingredients of questionable safety in both deodorants and antiperspirants include polyethylene, dimethicone, cyclomethicone and talc.

Natural Products
