Do It Yourself!  Make Your Own Inexpensive & Healthy Products     If an aluminum compound, such as aluminum chlorhydrate or aluminum zirconium, which is very soluble, is used as an antiperspirant, that compound is readily absorbed.  Once in the body, the aluminum portion of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum (Al+++).  This passes freely across cell membranes, and forms a physical plug, that when dissolved is selectively absorbed by the liver, kidney, brain, cartilage, and bone marrow.  It is this concentration of aluminum that has been the source of concern in the medical community and has prompted the research being done on Alzheimer's Disease and Breast Cancer victims.  Potassium alum, a powerful astringent substance contained in many natural deodorants, is not harmful.  Potassium alum molecules have a negative ionic charge, therefore they are unable to pass through the cell walls and are not absorbed by the body.   Although there are many types, we recommend hemp deodorants with natural minerals, and sometimes with added aloe to soften the skin, because they seem to be one of the longer lasting and effective deodorants of the natural choices.
