Here's some good information. Some time ago, I
         attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar put on by
         Terry Birk with support from Dan Sullivan. During
         the Q & A  period, I asked why the most common area
         for Breast Cancer was near the arm pit.

         My question could not be answered at that time. This
         email was just sent to me, and I find it interesting
         that my question has been answered. I challenge you
         all to rethink your everyday use of a product that
         could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of
         today, I will change my use.

         A friend forwarded this to me. I showed it to a
         friend going through chemotherapy and she said she
         learned this fact in a support group recently.

         I wish I had known it 14 years ago. I just got
         information from a health seminar that I would like
         to share. The leading cause of breast cancer is the
         use of antiperspirant.

         What?  A Concentration of toxins that leads to cell
         mutations: a.k.a. CANCER. Yes, ANTIPERSPIRANT. Most
         of the products out there are an
         antiperspirant/deodorant combination so go home and
         check your labels.  Deodorant is fine,
         antiperspirant is not.

         Here's why: The human body has a few areas that it
         uses to purge toxins; behind the knees, behind the
         ears, groin area, and armpits. The toxins are purged
         in the form of perspiration. Antiperspirant, as the
         name clearly indicates, prevents you from
         perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging
         toxins from below the armpits. These toxins do not
         just magically disappear. Instead, the body deposits
         them in the lymph nodes below the arms since it
         cannot sweat them out. Nearly all breast cancer
         tumors occur in the upper outside quadrant of the
         breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes
         are located.

         Additionally, men are less likely (but not
         completely exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted
         by antiperspirant usage because most of the
         antiperspirant product is caught in their hair and
         is not directly applied to the skin.

         Women who apply antiperspirant right after shaving
         increase the risk further because shaving causes
         almost imperceptible nicks in the skin which give
         the chemicals entrance in to the body from the
         armpit area.

         PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about.
         Breast Cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This
         awareness may save lives. If you are skeptical about
         these findings, I urge you to do some research for
         yourself. You will arrive at the  same conclusions,
         I assure you.
