Hi, All,
Someone was recently asking about this.  This is one of those widely
circulated rumors online, the connection between underarm
deoderants/antiperspirants and breast cancer.  I think they claim it has
something to do with the aluminum contained in the deodorant or being
unable to clear toxins through lymph tissue.  However, there is no proven
link between the two.  You can find more info and links at the Urban
Legends/Internet Hoaxes page,

And there, I found a link to the American Cancer Society, addressing this
rumor
