Antiperspirant
The antiperspirant finger-pointing began more than 40 years ago with new discoveries about Alzheimer’s, progressive dementia that affects more than five million Americans.
Antiperspirants use compounds—such as aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate, and aluminum zirconium—to form a temporary sweat duct plug.
Researchers back then found that exposure to aluminum caused rabbits’ brains to develop nerve cell damage— thought to be a precursor to Alzheimer’s at the time—and long-term dialysis patients with high levels of the metal developed dementia.
