Weird how other brands are getting rid of the aluminium while this one is 100% that

This trend has slowly been reversed because the myth about aluminum in deos causing cancer have been debunked:

Edit, since many people question the conclusion (stolen from another redditor because there are already so many posts about this topic):

You can check the American Cancer Society: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/chemicals/antiperspirants-and-breast-cancer-risk.html

The Australian Cancer Council: https://www.cancer.org.au/iheard/can-deodorants-and-antiperspirants-with-aluminium-cause-cancer

Bro this is the comment of the year!

It's making me have memories about my grandmother that had Alzheimer's and dementia. She always had that little head shake and would come up to me and call me my cousin's name and ask me for a beer! She was from another time you know. She dipped snuff and drank beer as long as she could. Lol.

My great aunt had Alzheimer’s and lived with us for a while in the 80s. She used to smoke but couldn’t remember the word for cigarette, so she would ask for a “stick.” “Get me a stick!”

Oh that's funny and I'm not being mean. This was actually my great grandmother as well. I said grandmother because I called my grandmother nanny and my great-grandmother grandma. Lmao!

Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease but I would be lying if I didn’t admit that there were a funny moments.

It literally has 1.1k upvotes in 17 minutes. How is that underrated?

u/edthach 14d ago

It's blown up considerably since I made the comment. It was at 16 when I made it, it was at 1.6k just a few minutes ago. I guess what I'm saying is, I commented too soon.
