If your gyneco warns you against breast cancer will you stop shaving your armpitts and deodorant ?


Deodorants are strongly suspected to trigger breast cancers -
do you mind ?

Shaving has nothing to do cancer, so there would be no need to stop that.

Statement ! Deo and shaving are linked -

Assuming this theory is true, I'm not worried. First, I take care of myself, which helps prevent any cancer. Secondly, I only wear deodorant when I know I'm going out, so maybe two or three times a week. Also, I do breastfeed. I do it for my nine month old daughter, as it's still the best food I can give her (although we are giving her organic cereal, fruits and veggies). The cancer prevention that I might get from that is just an added benefit.

As for shaving, I barely have time to shave my legs once a week during the summer. (I only shave in the summer because it's more comfortable.) Since I don't wear sleeveless shirts, I don't worry about taking the time to shave my armpits.

Actually, it's antiperspirants that cause problems as they block your pores. The other problems are parabens and aluminium (aluminum if you're American).

Shaving has nothing to do with breast cancer, and neither does using a deodorant without aluminium and parabens.

Statement! Check your facts.

The link between deodorants and breast cancer isn't as strong as you describe; not as strong, for example, as the link between smoking and lung cancer. And there are lots of other ways to get breast cancer, too.

Shaving has nothing to do cancer, so there would be no need to stop that.

Its the aluminum in the deodorant, you can find deodorant without aluminum in it.
I try to use aluminum free deodorant so no I don't mind and I shave my armpits when they need it.

Why not breast feed for a year or more and then continue to shave and defunkify? Can you ask the obgyn about that? I mean would it balance out?

first of all a gyno wouldn't know much about breast cancer or the breast because they specialize in examining the vagina.

Use a roll on rather than an aerosol.
