Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's disease, due to high concentrations of the metal in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. And by applying these dangerous chemicals to an area near the underarm lymph nodes, people are ensuring that they are carried through the body. When you read product labels everywhere, you will find as I have, that EVERY brand name antiperspirant has this compound.
The average person may absorb anywhere from 10 to 100 mg of aluminum every day through aluminum cookware, baking soda, antacids, and other sources, including deodorants. But, this common active ingredients in commercial deodorants does more than just deodorizing, this synthetic compound is antiperspirant, which block pores and keep them from doing what they're supposed to do: perspire.
This aluminum compound is very soluble and readily absorbed. Once in the body, the aluminum portion of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum. In fact, almost all deodorants and antiperspirants use these chemicals to form a base that is used to hold the perfumes that give them their scent.
Once in the body, the aluminum portion of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum.This passes freely across cell membranes, and forms a physical plug, that when dissolved is selectively absorbed by the liver, kidney, brain, cartilage and bone marrow. It is this concentration of aluminum that has been the source of concern in the medical community and has prompted the research being done on ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE and BREAST CANCER victims. To reduce this risk, using herbal deodorant is preferable. Some of these products will help you reduce the risk to alumunium compound.
