Deo for the B.O.

Raise your hand if your "Sure".

Raise your hand if you want Alzheimer's Disease.

Aluminum!  Does it cause or contribute to Alzheimer's Disease? 

Some studies claim that high levels of aluminum have been found in the brains of deceased patients with Alzheimer's Disease.  Some studies claim that there is no real evidence linking the two. 

However as our exposure to aluminum increases daily and can be found in things that we have no control of like sliced cheese.  I feel like its a good idea to reduce my exposure.  I'm not a gambler and don't want to take my chances.  I can choose cookware that is not made of aluminum, I can drink from glass bottles and not from aluminum cans.

So I decided to have control of what I rub under my armpit everyday. 

Unless you are a freak of nature like my husband who doesn't smell under his underarms at all.  You are searching for something that can control the odor and the sweat.

Anyone who has tried this can relate.  My experience has been that the "natural stuff" just doesn't work as well.  Tried Naturally Fresh and it was not too bad.  I settled on Tom's of Maine.  It is easy to find at all the stores.  Apricot did not work well for me.  Mixed in with my own aroma it was not a good scent for me.  Woodspice also not a good scent.  The best one so far is Lavender.

Staying dry is still an issue.

Confident, Confident, dry and secure.  Raise your hand.  Well I just don't raise my hand.
