Ugandans-At-Heart

Dear friends,

I have been closely following the discussion on breast cancer and deodorants on UAH, and I am concerned about the rise of breast and cervical cancer in Uganda, especially that it is appearing in ages younger than the general average in the world. could it be because of the poor socio-economic factors make us vulnerable to cheap brands that are dumped in africa from the developing world after they have been banned there? I wonder…

However, not all deodorants are bad, and before you damp all your deodorants, take note that it is only those that have aluminium salts in them that have been implicated in causing breast cancer, and that is a known fact that they increase the chance of breast cancer. Look at your deodorant among the ingridients and if you see ‘aluminium cholorohydrate or any salt of aluminium, throw it away faster than you can imagine. These are the salts that get absorbed by the sweat glands and find their way to the lymphnodes and can accelerate the process of cancer formation in those predisposed to developing cancer, hence that can increase your chances. These salts in the deodorant will usually show as white precipitate in the armpit when the deodorant dries…Deodorants therefore form one of the many enviromental factors that will precicpitate cancer. The same applies for men too. In the few years I worked in Mulago, I encountered two men with breast cancer and it really is terrible in men as they lack the fat cushioning effect that womens breasts has so it spreads so fast, and they are also not usually subject to regular breast exam. So by the time they come to hospital it has spread beyond repair.

Back to the deodorant there are alot of natural aluminium free ones available on the Market so you don’t have to be doomed to a life of stench. If you don’t know where to find them, contact me or look on www.mollynn.myflpbiz.com under personal use products you should be able to find one
