I've gotten a number of e-mails (forwarded to me from the States) about
the possible link between antiperspirant use and breast cancer.  They
claim that most breast tumors are found in the upper part of the breast
towards the underarm.

Since the internet is well-known for being a rumor-mill, I'd like to
know if any of you know of any studies about this.

I also heard on Radio Haifa (Israel) that mothers who heavily smoke can
cause nicotine addiction in their babies if they breastfeed.  Any
comments?
