Axe Body Spray/Deodorant - The Products that Make Men Grow Breasts and Linked to Cancers

When I first smelled it I got a headache, just as when I first tasted a Tab and Fresca I knew it was poison.

TMI.

:hurlingcat:

I only use baking soda on my pits and can't remember the last time I had any odor coming from them.

It's marketed towards young douches.

The Products that Make Men Grow Breasts and Linked to Cancers of the Prostate and Liver


Owned by Unilever, the Axe brand includes a range of men’s grooming products with many of the ingredients never even tested for safety according to the C.I.R. – Cosmetic Ingredient Review.

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

Axe products are loaded with endocrine disrupting chemicals. Endocrine disruptorsare exogenous, synthetic chemicals that have hormone-like effects on both humans and wild-life and interfere with the endocrine system by either mimicking or blocking our natural hormones and disrupting their respective body functions.

Member scientists of the Endocrine Society issued a report in which they claim:

“We present the evidence that endocrine disruptors have effects on male and female reproduction, breast development and cancer, prostrate cancer, neuroendocrinology, thyroid, metabolism and obesity, and cardiovascular endocrinology.”

New studies are also revealing that these harmful chemicals may be causing physical feminization in male. A study published by the International Journal of Andrology found that feminization of boys can now be seen through their play habits.

Medical experts are now wondering whether exposure to years of these toxic chemicals isn’t the reasons so many older men are low on testosterone and experiencing erectile dysfunction. So they take a little blue pill and get exposed to even more chemicals and the cycle continues.


Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly

Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly is the active ingredient in Axe deodorant products. One or more animal studies show kidney or renal system effects at very low doses, mammalian cells show positive mutation results, animal studies show reproductive effects at moderate dosesAluminum was first recognized as a human neurotoxin in 1886, before being used as an antiperspirant. A neurotoxin is a substance that causes damage to nerves or nerve tissue.


COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE

COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE is a very toxic ingredient which has been linked to cancer in animal tests.The biggest danger of using a product with cocamidopropyl betaine is its potential contamination with nitrosamines.

Nitrosamines are created when nitrosating agents are combined with amines. Nitrosamines have been identified as one of the most potent classes of carcinogens, having caused cancer in more than 40 different animal species as well as in humans.


PPG-14 Butyl Ether

PPG stands for popypropylene glycol, which is made from a completely artificial petroleum product; methyl oxirane. Another name for that is propylene oxide, which is a probable human carcinogen. Propylene oxide is also an irritant and highly flammable. Butyl ethers are in the paraben family, and they are toluene derivatives (toxic petrochemical compounds). Toluene has proven to have a harmful effect on the reproductive system while parabens have been linked to cancer.


PEG-8 Distearate

According to a report in the International Journal of Toxicology by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) committee, impurities found in various PEG compounds include ethylene oxide; 1,4-dioxane; polycyclic aromatic compounds; and heavy metals such as lead, iron, cobalt, nickel, cadmium, and arsenic. Many of these impurities are linked to cancer.


BHT

There have been many studies which demonstrate that BHT accumulates over time in the body, having a toxic impact on the lungs, liver and kidneys amongst other negative effects. A study by Gann in 1984 showed that BHT was capable of promoting chemically-induced forestomach and bladder cancer in male rats.

A 1988 Swedish study by Thompson looked at both BHT and BHA. They found that both were toxic and tumour promoting. Both antioxidants were observed to be cytotoxic in a concentration-dependent manner at concentrations ranging from 100 to 750 microM. At equimolar concentrations BHT was more cytotoxic than BHA.

I've always thought Axe spray smelled horrendous and nauseating, as with most colognes as well but Axe was very displeasing.

I remember trying this crap out like 15 years ago and immediately stopped. It just felt and smelled wrong. I do love my intuition at times.

does this explain the transexual craze?

Not a fan of the comedian, but you do make me laugh.

Axe products are called Lynx in the UK if anyone doesn't steady know that.

that shite stinks, my deo costs 200 quid! proper man stuff

are those endocrine disrupting chemicals in all deodorant sprays or only in that particular brand?

Does plain deodorant have this same shit in it?

What about shampoo? Lately I've been wondering, how did people wash their hair for, oh, the entire history of the world? These weird shampoos never existed, how did they wash their hair? You don't want to wash your hair with just soap.

The same young douches spreading nuclear STD's.
