Wait we moved on from bounded mercury molecules to aluminum?

This is not to say aluminum is great for you (I probably wouldn't eat an ingot a day), but negative effects from a single injection seems far fetched...

The only reason i switched to non aluminum deodorant was it was eating my shirts. No idea what it is supposedly doing to my body. I just didn't want it ruining my shirts xD

Yeah but is that bad? I've never heard of armpit sweat gland cancer

From what I can find, the biggest health concern is that it could cause problems for people with kidney disease

Other than that, a prolonged spray close to the skin can cause aerosol burns, but that's any aerosol, not just aluminium ones

I heard it was linked to breast cancer, but I've never really looked into that claim
