It started with Kamala Harris

being named Joe Biden's running mate, then on to the election. The apparently successful vaccines moved the needle further on the dial, and I'm officially out of my funk. Proof? I've taken a shower two days in a row (just after discovering that if I apply anti-perspirant freely on parts of my body that I never have before allows me to go ten days without a shower).

From Mayo Clinic:

Myth: Antiperspirants or deodorants can cause breast cancer.

Fact: There's no conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants with breast cancer.

Some reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances such as aluminum compounds and parabens that can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. No clinical studies have yet given a definitive answer to the question of whether these products cause breast cancer. But the evidence to date suggests these products don't cause cancer.

If you're still concerned that your underarm antiperspirant or deodorant could increase your risk of cancer, choose products that don't contain chemicals that worry you.
