Abstract
The use of aluminum-based salts in antiperspirants is a topic of
controversy in the science world. Despite the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and European Union (EU) both approving topical use of several aluminum
salts, modern research repeatedly demonstrates mutagenic effects of
aluminum salts that could be accounting for the large surge in breast cancer
over the past few decades. There is a gap in the research in which studies administering
aluminum salts via ingestion are being used to approve the aluminum
salts for topical use. Most research is not niche to topical application,
and this composition intends to demonstrate the need for further research.
