Is it true that antiperspirants can contribute to Alzheimers disease?
No. For some time there has been a question as to whether aluminum can contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. The FDA has approved aluminum compounds for use in antiperspirants based on an extensive safety database. The materials in Secret antiperspirants have undergone extensive safety testing and have been proven safe and effective. For perspective, aluminum occurs everywhere in the environment. Our greatest daily exposure to aluminum is from the food and water we consume and the air we breathe. Daily aluminum intake from food and water is at least 2-50 times greater than exposure from daily use of antiperspirants. The weight of evidence to date indicates that the current level of environmental exposure to aluminum (from drinking water or other sources) does not lead to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in humans. Many noted scientists agree. For further information on this subject, we suggest visiting the following independent site: Alzheimer’s Association, or call them at 1-800-
