It is interesting how the editorial talks about perspiration being a natural way for the body to excrete aluminum, while aluminum is the active ingredient in most anti-perspirants. So we are effectively blocking the release of aluminum by using aluminum.

I think the interesting part is that if you are not exercising regularly, you're not perspiring and hence blocking a major channel to excrete aluminum.

Diet and exercise, folks. I wouldn't worry about the aluminum in your deodorant - make sure you're living a healthy lifestyle overall.

Only in the arm-pits. There are plenty of other places to sweat when you're hot.

But still, this is part of why I go out of my way to use deodorant without anti-perspirant. The idea of aluminum bits causing the pores to swell shut doesn't sound like a good idea.
