Reply #20: That's the title of the CBS article and Myth is in quotes.

This article is specifically about anti-perspirant and shaving.

Your statement "Aluminum in anti-perspirant blocks the pores related to lymph node wastes, which are a major and important way of getting rid of the bodies toxic wastes. So it shouldn't surprise that such would cause chronic health problems." intrigued me because it seems to make sense. However when researching it I came across a study that sites extended bra wearing as a cause of breast cancer. This casts yet more doubt on how McGrath interpreted his study because I'd bet that there is a detectable correlation between bra-wearing and shaving underarms.

btw, your statement still makes some sense, but as far as anti-perspirant and shaving goes, there's no solid evidence that together they increase the risk of breast cancer. Of course that doesn't mean our culture should continue to be so careless with our environment and its inhabitants.
