I believe it's the zinc in anti-perspirants that you're refering to that may cause cancer. Personally I only use anti-perspirant in the warmer months, and deodorant for the cooler/cold weather.

Antiperspirant and Breast CancerStudies show no relationship between the use of antiperspirants and deodorants and the development of breast cancer. However, there have also been some suggestions that a substance in antiperspirants can mimic estrogen in the body, which is a causative factor in certain types of breast cancer.AnswerThe above poster gave you good advice. I just wanted to add that instead of spending a fortune or taking any risks I use baking soda under my arms. There is no smell and any perspiration is absorbed. Baking soda is natural. You could put it in a talc bottle with tiny holes on the lid. If this doesn't appeal to you then go to a Natural Health Food Store that handles herbal underarm deodorants.
