Antiperspirant use increases the risk of breast cancer.

Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Antiperspirant use increases the risk of breast cancer?

No. A large population-based case-control study found no increased breast cancer risk with antiperspirant use, and a reference compilation states existing evidence shows no causal relationship or correlation. A small Iraqi case-control study also found no association, while a hypothesis paper merely proposes a possible link without confirming it.
