So I’ve been reading the book You: On a Diet by Drs. Roizen and Oz and here is some interesting info I found out:

Pg. 92 - “Most people assume that being overweight means one of two things: that you eat too much or move too little.  But some research suggests that overeating and inactivity shouldn’t be the only things taking the blame for our moon-sized waist circumferences.”  Then goes on to list deodorants!  “Some deodorants contain chemicals that can disrupt your normal metabolism, making you more likely to gain weight.  While we don’t recommend ditching the deodorant and scaring off elevator mates, you should avoid deodorants that contain the ingredient aluminum or sprays with polychlorobiphenols.”

Now I did know that a natural deodorant was a better choice, but I did not realize that the aluminum could cause weight gain, but it makes sense since our deodorant is absorbed through the skin.

Interesting…
