Breast Cancer, Aluminium anti-perspirants

[zebedee]

Yay, Rowan, brilliant, I'm with you. What a lot of useless stuff there is now. I am trying to wean OH off buying the most expensive branded products in favour of Basics (often made in same factory).

Anyway, as for anti-perspirants: Crystal Rok? And washing every day helps a lot (its obvious, but a lotta people just spray more stuff on instead of washing). A lot of the smell is in your clothes not on your skin, so clean clothes ...

As for poo in the loo ... burn a match in the bowl. It burns off the gasses (as any schoolboy who tried to light his farts will know)

To return your quote;
I farted, I struck, I blistered.

The report I saw said that aluminium buildup was found in the same quadrant of the breast where tumours are most frequent. Of course, correlation doesn't prove causality, but frankly, as my mother died from cancer (skin), I do my best to avoid known and suspected carcinogens.
Rustlady - yup, it's a conspiracy to turn us into a nation of obsessive-compulsives!

I can vouch for the crystal rock stuff (the brand I bought from boots was Pitrok I think). Lasts forever and seems to work (nobody's mentioned otherwise! )
