Antiperspirants being harmful is not supported by any evidence or research. It is a common “old wives tale” as they say. If you sweat a lot do not let these rumors keep you from using antiperspirants.
I started using Certain Dri about 10 years ago and my extreme sweat issue has completely gone away. I apply it once ever 6 months or so and use a straight deodorant for everyday. It was a life changer for me.
I haven’t looked into it in years, but there used to be a concern about aluminum zirconium having a correlation with Parkinsons. Is that not a thing anymore?
Anecdotal evidence here, if I use antiperspirants for any extended amount of time, I begin to sweat from my armpits uncontrollably, as in sweat literally pours out of my armpits like a leaky faucet, and that’s not an exaggeration. I now use straight deodorant exclusively and just deal with normal sweat amounts.
Antiperspirants reduce sweating, deodorants are like a “freshen-up” thing.
You should use antiperspirants in moderation, due to some ingredients being potentially harmful. It’s good to alternate, when possible.
