Monitor aluminum salts

In the world of deodorants, the argument "no aluminum salts" sells. In the early 2000s, several scientific studies are questioning a possible link between them and breast cancer. In 2008, the French Agency for Food Safety and Health Products (AFSSAPS) concluded their safety, but said that further studies are needed. Today, the controversy extends: "Research has been conducted on their possible role in causing neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, and the results are worrisome," says Virginia Belle journalist, author When aluminum poisoning us (Max Milo, 2010). Even if these are only presumptions, it is better to remain vigilant. Especially since these substances are ubiquitous in our daily lives: they are used to clarify the tap water, use of additives in meats and processed products, opacifiers in cosmetics and even adjuvant in vaccines!


Fortunately, it is possible to limit our consumption. Supply side: eating fruits and various vegetables, avoid abusing cereals, tea, soy milk and processed products, and alternate bottled water and tap water. For cosmetics: it is the quantity that makes the poison. The solution is to let the skin rest from time to time and reducing the number of products used. For vaccines, Virginia Belle suggested spacing in time to reduce the doses of aluminum salts that can enter the body.
