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...............
