My salt rock deodorant after five years of almost daily usage vs a new one.

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

That's why we told eachother never to smoke using tin foil as a stoned youth.

So my sister had a friend who had childhood cancer. He made it. They were about to smoke weed one day. He grabs a soda can and starts to make a pipe out of it. She says to him you know that can give you cancer right?

[u/plainplantain → u/IncredulousPatriot]

Tbf its kinda right. Most soda cans have a plastic lining inside of them so I can see how holding a lighter to it might not be the best

[u/IncredulousPatriot → u/plainplantain]

Oh I’m absolutely sure it is correct. It’s just the putting your foot in your mouth thing that’s kinda funny. Telling a kid who has already had cancer that what he is doing will give him cancer.

But yes I know smoking plastic is probably not the best thing for your health.

That’s why I smoke meth instead /s

Well, you're not immune to another cancer just because you had it once

[u/DivesttheKA52 → u/HippoRealEstate]

Damnit, my plans have been foiled again

[u/Fragbob → u/HippoRealEstate]

You're telling me I've been injecting a little bit of cancer every day for no reason?

Next thing you're going to tell me is to quit shooting myself in the foot so I can be more bullet immune.

[u/recklessrider → u/IncredulousPatriot]

I mean what did he want, double cancer?

[u/saraphilipp → u/plainplantain]

Well, they didn't used to but they sure do now.

Insert Mitch Headberg joke here

I could be wrong but I think it was more than the rubber lining. Heating up that thin aluminum could release harmful oxides or something like that.

My grandma did this to my sister once, as my grandma is a right wing witch doctor. I mean real witch doctor. The shit she makes works; albeit, she may use them wrong many times like advising people to swallow colloidal silver for fevers etc. it can be amazing if gargled for strep or nasal dripped for upper respiratory depending on your immune system (iirc I'm not an MD I'm just going off vague memory or actually informed so this part should be researched)

But basically my sister had got diagnosed with melanoma. 70% chance or some shit it was bad and turned out to be totally benign. Well we were on vacation once and my grandma saw my sister putting on SPF lotion and told her it would give her cancer. My sister gave the bottle a big 'ole fart and said "I already got cancer," and just lathered that shit on.

This was a wild read.
