Real question- is antiperspirant harmful? Is it just the aluminum in deodorant that is harmful?

there is no scientific proof that aluminum in antiperspirants is harmful, so you don't have to worry either way.

Numerous studies have looked for a link between antiperspirants and cancer/alzheimer's, but none of them have found a link.

The only health effects they have been able to find is acne, so if you’re getting acne in the areas that you spray with antiperspirant, the recommendation is to try different ones until it stops.
