Long-term exposure of normal breast tissue cells in a test tube to aluminum concentrations in the range of those found in breasts results in precancerous-type changes. This is a concern because, in a petri dish at least, it has been demonstrated that aluminum is a so-called metalloestrogen, having pro-estrogenic effects on breast cancer cells. If you measure aluminum levels in breasts removed during mastectomies, the “aluminum content of breast tissue in the outer regions …was significantly higher,” presumably due to the “closer proximity to the underarm” area. There is a free flow of lymph fluid back and forth between the breast and the armpit. breast cancer incidence and antiperspirant/deodorant sales at 1:38. “ Is it possible that the increasing use of antiperspirant which parallels breast cancer incidence could also be an explanation for the greater number of ductal tumours…and disproportionate incidence of breast cancer in the upper outer quadrant” of the breast near the site where stick, spray, or roll-on is applied? I discuss this possibility in my video Antiperspirants and Breast Cancer, where you can see a graph of U.S. There definitely seems to be something happening to that outer side of the breast, and it’s something relatively new, occurring in the last 50 years or so. And, it also doesn’t explain why “greater genomic instability”––chromosome abnormalities––has been “ observed…in outer quadrants of the breast,” which may signal precancerous changes. Indeed, there has been a shift toward the appearance of breast cancer in the upper corner of the breast. This case was cited as inspiration by a group of researchers who came up with a new theory to explain a breast cancer mystery: Why do most breast cancers occur in the upper outer corner of the breast? The standard explanation was simply because that’s where most of the breast tissue is located, as the so-called tail of the breast extends up to the armpit, but that doesn’t explain the fact that it wasn’t always this way. It was concluded there must have been an estrogenic compound in the cream that was absorbed through his skin into his body, one of the first such cases described. It turns out the mortician failed to wear gloves as he massaged embalming cream onto corpses. Could this explain the greater number of tumors and the disproportionate incidence of breast cancer in the upper outer quadrant of the breast near the armpit?Ī famous case report called “The Mortician’s Mystery,” published in the New England Journal of Medicine back in the 1980s, described a man whose testicles started shrinking and breasts started growing. Shaving before applying underarm antiperspirants can increase aluminum absorption.
