I'm not sure about the prank part of breast cancer/antiperspirants. Back
in 1990 or '91, my gynocologist in Baltimore, Md., suspected such a link
due to patterns of breast cancer. On a common sense level, when you bathe
delicate tissues year after year in chemicals, it seems possible that it
would affect those tissues (and the lymph nodes, etc.) health. After all,
what about environmental estrogens, etc? And...consider the synergistic
effects that I'm guessing many labs don't study. For example, what if you
not only use antiperspirants a lot, but smoke? Or live under power lines?
Or? Or?
