Why breast cancer is usually found near the armpit?
I was informed by the Moderator of Women's workcom that one of her rep.
had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she is concerned that we
should inform our friends about this.

Ladies - some awareness!!! Gentleman - pass on to the ladies in your
life, to all the women you know

Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar put on by
Terry & A period.
I asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit.
My question could not be answered at that time. This e-mail was just
sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has been
answered.

I challenge you all to rethink your every day use of a product that
could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, I will change
my use. A friend forwarded this to me.

The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant.

What? A concentration of toxins and leads to cell mutations,a.k.a CANCER
.
Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an
anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check. Deodorant
is fine, anti-perspirant is not..

Here's why :- The human body has a few areas that it uses to purge
toxins; behind the knees , behind the ears, groin area, and armpits. Thetoxins are purged in the form of perspiration. Anti-perspirant, as thename clearly indicates, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibitingthe body from purging toxins from below the armpits.

These toxins do not just magically disappear. Instead, the body depositsthem in the lymph nodes below the arms since it cannot sweat them out.Nearly all breast cancer tumours occur in the upper outside quadrant ofthe breast area. This is precisely where the lymph nodes are located.

Additionally, men are less likely (but not completely exempt) to developbreast cancer prompted by anti- perspirant usage because most of theanti-perspirant product is caught in their hair and is not directlyapplied to the skin.

Women who apply anti-perspirant right after shaving increase the risk
further because shaving causes almost imperceptible nicks in the skin
which give the chemicals entrance into the body from the armpit area.

PLEASE pass this along to anyone you care about.

Breast cancer is becoming frighteningly common. This awareness may save
lives.
