A cure for smelly armpits: antifreeze

im not sure but wouldnt an antibacterial soap do just the same? and maybe a
little safer too. very interesting findings non the less. i am one of those
people who tend to have a very heavy oder if not kept in check.i sweat
constantly even when only mildly active. so i bath after every hard workout
and use dial antibacterial soap and a stronge antipersperant. that combo
keeps my oders at bay throughout the day. lol atleast i think it does.
noone runs away or says i stink. ;P
thanks for the info.

Is antifreeze really safe to use on armpits? What else is in it? Has it
been approved for use in this manner?

and what does it have to do with dieting and why was it crossposted to
four other groups?

Did you know that the breaasts are the largest sweat gland on the body?

Then how come they don't pour out sweat like a waterfall?

Hmm...people handle a lot of stuff in homes...laundry soap, cleaners,
drain-o, etc. Should they go putting that **** in their armpits and crouch?

Besides -- why do we need to be odor free for months? Why not just shower
everyday rather than using AF to suppress what is natural?

I can hardly wait to see what you come up with next, Ig.

To each his own, I guess.

Did you know there was a piece on the news today that deodorant chemicals
have been found in breast tumors? Apparently it's of some concern because
the chemicals found are some of the kind that encourage/speed-up tumor
growth.

I heard this on the news radio station this morning.
