Deodorant is something we apply to our bodies - usually our armpits - to prevent body odor. It’s something most of us are taught to use from puberty onward through the rest of our lives, and we don’t tend to question this practice.  But what if you were to learn that there are actually potential health risks associated with the ingredients used in common deodorants - the kind most of us are using? Would you want to continue using it?  The truth is that most of us have no idea what we’re smearing into our armpits every day - and knowledge is power. So read on to learn about the potential deodorant health risks that you should know about - as well as alternative options to the deodorant you’ve been using since you were 12.
