Out of curiosity, why did you label this "SFW"?

You Cornell guys can't figure that out?

Do they teach this at Cornell?

For me, I think that I find my face more oily and breaks out more than it has in the past after I started using antiperspirant. Anyone else ever thought this?

For the most part it is trapped inside. This is actually unhealthy and I know that women who have had breast cancer (several in my family included) shouldn't use anti-perspirant, because it traps toxins in your body. I am not sure of all the details, as it has been a while since this was explained to me, but from my understaning, anti-perspirants are not all that healthy to use and they make plenty of deodorant only products.

Its the aluminum that makes it toxic.

Shenanigans. There is no conclusive medical evidence linking breast cancer with use of anti-perspirants containing aluminum. Breast cancer sucks, and aluminum probably IS toxic in other ways, but the link has never been proven. This is one of those nasty rumors that might be true, but currently have no basis in science.
