Another item to think about – deodorant and antiperspirant. Anything that permits sweating is not allowing toxins out of your body. And anything you put on your skin – especially that close to the breast tissue and lymph nodes – should be checked out for hazardous ingredients. Here’s an article from Mercola.com – Does Your Antiperspirant Cause Cancer? that might get you thinking. As well, check out your own brand at the EWG’s database – Skin Deep – deodorants to see how you rank. Then find a brand you are willing to try that has less of a toxic score. I’m personally using a deodorant crystal right now – works great most days, but I do keep a natural stick brand in the medicine cabinet for extra-hard workout days.
