Women believe antiperspirant causes breast cancer

5-young-woman-putting-antiperspirant-600x350New Delhi: A large number of women believe the myth that antiperspirant cause’s breast cancer, but fail to take the recommended amount of exercise, a new survey has revealed. The poll by the Cancer Australia found that less than half of Australian women think alcohol   increases the risk, News reported. Council CEO Professor Helen Zorbas said evidence shows that being physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight and limiting alcohol intake all significantly reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Zorbas, who is particularly worried about the high proportion of women who believe the long-disproved myth about antiperspirant, said while there will always be cancer risk factors, such as age and  genetic susceptibility, beyond individual control, there are a number of positive lifestyle changes we can make to reduce risk and improve overall wellbeing.
