Well, its October again. And we are going pink this year too to spread the cause of breast cancer. I don’t know why people & institutions in India do not raise any voice or awareness campaigns against the rising breast cancer. This is the first & only website from India registered at Pink For October till today to spread the awareness as October is earmarked as Breast Cancer Awareness Month! However breast cancer is very common in India. (See this post)
Studies indicate that use of antiperspirants is a major cause for this disease. People use antiperspirants to counter excessive perspiration by their body. Whereas our body has its natural mechanism to get rid of toxins through perspiration. Antiperspirants stops this leading to development of breast-cancer in mainly upper left corner of the breast due to accumulation of toxins under the skin. Men has comparatively fewer chances of developing it in comparison to women as antiperspirants are directly applied to the breast-hairs and only a part of it succeeds in touching their skins. But despite this it can not be ignored. Do read some of the data about India in my last years’ post regarding this.
Let us help spread awareness about it.
