DEODORANTS

Most deodorants today contain aluminum, a known neurotoxin that can end up in your brain and cause oxidative damage and inflammation. Particularly when used in the underarm though, deodorants have a great potential to disrupt endocrine function by affecting the endocrine glands, altering the expression of certain hormones and impairing estrogen receptor methylation. Aluminum is one of the ingredients in main-brand deodorants responsible for endocrine disruption, and is now even considered a metalloestrogen; a heavy metal that has estrogenic effects on the body, much in the same way that BPA, Teflon, plastic cutlery & dishes, vaccines, non-native EMF, many allopathic medications (particularly birth control), pesticides (notably atrazine & glyphosate), and many other household, food, and cosmetic items in today’s toxic society do. I am convinced there is an agenda to demasculinize the alpha male and remove him from the family unit, and to irritate, taunt, and abuse the nurturing, protective, instinctive, and LOVING mother. This agenda is carried out so both of the parents neglect their children and feed them “quick poisons” (which make a quick dollar for big food corporations) while the state force-feeds them with disinformation from a young age, and indoctrinate them into never thinking for themselves. They end up with mindless, colorless, soulless, depressed, vulnerable, obedient, and easily-manipulative drones. Simply cattle to feed their system of debt slavery…income taxes are a scam! okay this is a post about deodorants but you guys are used to these tangents. Those who are still reading this I appreciate you. Anyways the kids are lured with cool commercials and peer influence into buying these main-brand poisonous personal care items and their parents are too busy to care.

Other ingredients that have known toxicity/carcinogenicity and are commonly used in deodorants are: triclosan, parabens, phtalates, propylene glycol, and many other petroleum-based artificial colors, scents, emulsifiers, and preservatives.

What deodorant should you use?

The remaining 14 samples were found to contain at least three or more of these phthalates and/or parabens. The predominant phthalates and parabens detected in the studied samples were methylparaben, propylparaben, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, and di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate.

• Reproductive and developmental toxicity of phthalates.
• Phthalates were postulated to produce endocrine-disrupting effects in rodents, where fetal exposure to these compounds was found to induce developmental and reproductive toxicity.
• The adverse effects observed in rodent models raised concerns as to whether exposure to phthalates represents a potential health risk to humans. At present, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), and butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) have been demonstrated to produce reproductive and developmental toxicity; thus, this review focuses on these chemicals.
• At present, DEHP exposures in the general population appear to be close to the tolerable daily intake (TDI), suggesting that at least some individuals exceed the TDI. In addition, specific high-risk groups exist with internal levels that are several orders of magnitude above average.

• Phthalate exposure among pregnant women in Jerusalem, Israel: results of a pilot study.
• Nine metabolites were detected in at least 95% of the samples: mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate, mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate, mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate, mono(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate, mono(n-butyl) phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate (MBzP), monoethyl phthalate (MEP), mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and monoisobutyl phthalate. Phthalate metabolite concentrations in these pregnant women were remarkably similar to those in the general United States female population. MBzP geometric mean concentrations were higher in women living in buildings existing 40 years or more (P=0.04). In women who used four or more personal care products (perfume, deodorant, lipstick, nail polish, or hand/face cream) in the 48 h prior to providing the urine sample, geometric mean MEP concentrations were more than 4 times higher than concentrations in women using only two or three of the aforementioned products (P=0.07).

• Phthalates in cosmetic and personal care products: concentrations and possible dermal exposure.
• For female adults, the maximal daily exposure of 78 μg/kg bw/d was determined for DEP. The maximal daily exposure was much lower for the other four phthalates (DEHP, 0.82 μg/kg bw/d; DnBP, 0.36 μg/kg bw/d; and DMP, 0.03 μg/kg bw/d). The exposure for DiBP was not calculated due to its very low levels (<10 μg/g) in products. Toddlers and infants in this case had a maximal daily exposure to DEP of 20 and 42 μg/kg bw/d, respectively.

Urinary concentrations of MEP showed a positive relationship with the number of personal care products used. Our results suggest that the use of some personal care products contributes to phthalate body burden that deserves attention due to its potential health impact.

• Phtalates: new cardiovascular health disruptors?
• Humans are exposed to phtalates through different ways such as inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact.
• A growing body of evidence investigated the association of phtalate exposure with cardiovascular risk factors, i.e., obesity, type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Phtalates are thought to contribute to obesity through their binding and activation of PPARγ receptor that in turn results in the upregulation of adipocyte production. Phtalates are also known to interfere with insulin signaling and to increase oxidative stress.

• The association of environmental toxicants and autism spectrum disorders in children.
• A number of environmental agents have been suggested as contributing factors to ASD pathogenesis, which includes heavy metals (Hg and Pb), persistent organic pollutants (DDT, PBDEs and PCBs) and emerging chemicals of concern (phthalates and BPA).
• There are evidence supporting the etiological link between exposure to environmental toxicants and the development of ASD. Children exposed to these toxicants in the environment exhibit signature traits of ASD and have been reported with high body burdens of these chemicals and/or their metabolites, which may provide an explanation for the observed relation, yet comprehensive evidence in humans is limited, highlighting the need for further research.

• Phthalate concentrations in house dust in relation to autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay in the CHildhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) study.
• Among TD children, VABS communication, daily living, and adaptive composite standard scores were lower, in association with increased diethyl phthalate (DEP) concentrations in dust. Participants with higher dibutyl phthalate (DBP) concentrations in house dust also trended toward reduced performance on these subscales. Among ASD and DD boys, higher indoor dust concentrations of DEP and DBP were associated with greater hyperactivity-impulsivity and inattention.
• The associations observed for DEP and DBP with impairments in several adaptive functions and greater hyperactivity, along with evidence for increased risk of DD raise concerns that these chemicals may affect neurodevelopment in children.

Because these associations are among the few linking ASD with environmental variables, they warrant further and more extensive exploration.

• Irritating effects of sodium lauryl sulfate on human primary keratinocytes at subtoxic levels of exposure.
• Keratinocyte morphophysiological changes and inflammatory responses were significant at ≥25 μM SLS. The keratinocytes became less stiff due to changes in the distribution of F-actin filaments and α-tubulin; these changes were significant even at lower doses of SLS (≤10 μM). The morphophysiological changes of keratinocytes were clearly seen at a relatively high dose of SLS, while the mechanical properties of keratinocytes responded linearly to SLS at lower doses. Therefore, changes in mechanical properties can be used as new endpoints for in vitro toxicity testing with keratinocytes.

• Some have been connected with skin allergies. In addition, some preservatives have mutagenic properties.

Aluminum hydroxide is the most widely used vaccine adjuvant and is also present in sunscreens and even some deodorants. -vv)
• At a concentration of 60%, PEG 400 significantly reduced seizure frequency, but also exhibited severe side effects. These findings suggest that experimental testing of anticonvulsants may be compromised when this or similar solvents are used chronically.
