Can shaving my underarms have a link to breast cancer


Can shaving my underarms have a link to breast cancer?
Someone is telling me not to shave my underarms, simply because it is linked to breast cancer, and if I use anti-perspirants and shave my underarms, it will give me/ increase my chance of getting cancer. Is this true? It's really bothering me, and it's getting rather hairy there.

It's not true. There was a study done on women who used antiperspirants directly after underarm shaving that claims it led to an increased risk but its not conclusive. There is no scientically tangible data that says any such thing.
2 :
NO!
3 :
No and your arm pits will smell better
4 :
no

I think the shaving part is harmless, but researchers have discovered that the use of antiperspirants prevent your underarms from sweating, so the natural toxins in your sweat that are supposed to come out of the body is blocked by the antiperspirant and builds up over time in nearby areas (the breasts). If that is a concern to you, try using organic products.

No shaving does not cause breast cancer. IF this was true majority of females in the world would get it. Do you ever see any girl in picture with hairy armpits
