True or Poo? I've no idea - any medical types on the boards?

Just done a search on Google, and looks like this was doing the rounds 2 years ago.

Apparently is poo.

Also heard it can cause Alzeimer's (or however you spell it ??!)

I still use it (ignorance is bliss)

To be honest mate, the "I'm forwarding this to everyone I know..." bit is the dead give away for a poo story.

I worked in Breast Screening in the NHS for 5 years and can tell you that nobody knows for sure about the deodorant claim yet.

There are various trials taking place around the world, but there have been positive links that don't dismiss the claim.

I saw this quite a while back now

It mentions Lymph Nodes, but I am led to belive the Lymph Nodes are all over your body, and not just near your armpits, as I have had cancer in the Lymph Nodes, but in my neck, just below my adams apple

I also know that the Docs check your armpits for lumps, I guess this could be why, to check for abnormal growths etc

Sounds like it's an email scam playing on peoples cancer worries and good nature.

Sure it does

If there was the smallest possibility of a link dont you think the companies that make the products would either be:
(a) suing the **** of anyone making this claim or
(b) doing a runner for the hills with their profits before the law suits come piling in

I really shouldnt worry about these kind of "chain letters" in fact the following is what I send to anyone who sends me anything like this cr@p:
