‘Switzerland is poised to become the first country to ban deodorants with aluminium salts over fears they could cause breast cancer.
Concerns surrounding aluminium salts were first raised last September when Swiss scientists found exposure to the antiperspirants could trigger tumour growth.
Aluminium salts are present in the majority of high street deodorants and help get rid of sweat and body odour.
Now the Swiss National Council has approved a bill that could ban the use of aluminium salts in deodorants and fund research into its role in breast cancer.’
