Deodorant-Smelling Good Is Not Risk Free

February 23, 2009

Recall one of the hot and sweaty days, loads of work the whole day. After that the smell that comes out of the body annoys everybody. It is always very difficult to stay sweat free and smell fresh without the use of deodorant underarm spray, roll on or something of that kind. Many people consider these as essential part of the hygiene. When the demand for deodorants are making them bestsellers every year, people simply are unaware or ignorant about the side effects of using deodorant.

How deodorants work?
Many people think that antiperspirant and deodorant are same. But there is a difference between them. Deodorants let go the smell of the sweat by breaking down the sweat and the bacteria which causes body odour. An antiperspirant stops the sweat glands from producing sweat up to fifty percent.  Aluminium Chlorhydrate is the key ingredient which helps to perform this sweat blockage. This element is manufactured chemically from aluminum. Studies say that though in deodorants and antiperspirants aluminum is used in small quantities; it can affect the health due to long term absorption.

Health problems due to use of deodorants
Deodorant is often sprayed under armpits which are very near to the breasts. Getting inside the skin the aluminium mimics oestrogen which develops the causes of breast cancer. Not only breast cancer but it is dangerous for mental disorders like Alzheimer. It causes plaques and tangles in Alzheimer effected brain.

Besides aluminium chemicals like propane and butane are used to get the sweet smell. So with the inhalation of the scent we inhale deadly chemicals. Excessive inhalation can cause death to a person through the fumes. The deodorants are inflammable which can cause fire a bring death to people.

There are ways to avoid such health disorders by saying no to deodorants which contain aluminium and stick to the natural deodorants which contain no such deadly elements.
