The Endocrine Society reports:
“We present the evidence that endocrine disruptors have effects on male and female reproduction, breast development and cancer, prostrate cancer, neuroendocrinology, thyroid, metabolism and obesity, and cardiovascular endocrinology.”

YIKES!

Medical experts now wonder whether exposure to years of toxic chemicals is in part why men are low on testosterone and experiencing erectile dysfunction.

Where are we exposed to these chemicals?
Deodorants!

ALUMINUM ZIECONIUM TETRACHLOROHYDREX GLY
effects the kidney or renal system at very low doses. Aluminum was first recognized as a human neurotoxin in 1886. A neurotoxin is a substance that causes damage to nerves or nerve tissue.

COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE
is a very toxic ingredient which has been linked to cancer in animal tests.

PPG-14 BUTYL ETHER (popypropylene glycol)
is in the paraben family and a toluene derivative. Toluene has proven to have a harmful affect on the reproductive system. Parabens are linked to cancer.

BHT
accumulates over time in the body, having a toxic impact on the lungs, liver and kidneys amongst other negative effects. A 1984 study showed that BHT was capable of promoting chemically-induced forestomach and bladder cancer in male rats. A 1988 Swedish study shows BHT toxic and tumour promoting.

SO WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE?

You know what I have been doing now for some time? Using baking soda. Plain and simple. I brush a tiny amount underarm each morning and find it works better than any organic deodorant that I have tried.
