I threw out the old aluminum pots, replaced anti-perspirants with plain deodorants, brush teeth with baking soda, and found that kosher salt does not have aluminum silicate in it to keep it from caking.........been reading labels a lot..... I was amazed to see one of the sugars listed as an ingredient in iodized salt............... .....haven't had an infected sweat gland in the armpit since I stopped using anti-perspirants and shaving under the arms.......No, I don't worry about hair showing.....I don't wear sleevless clothes and my underarm hair is blond anyway.......hardly shows...............
