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.
