Sugar is known to support growth of cancer cells. Is it safe to use it as an ingredient in a deodorant?

I'm not sure, but I can say this when I used truly it created painful ingrowths under my arms and the only ingredient that stood out was sugar. I stopped using Truly and use another company that's natural without sugar, and so far no problems.

Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener that was discovered in 1976 and approved as a food ingredient by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1998 following extensive safety testing. Over 80 countries have also approved sucralose, including Canada, Australia and Mexico. Sucralose is the sweetening ingredient in Splenda products. It has excellent stability in food manufacturing conditions, including cooking and baking and is found in over 4,000 products, including sodas, yogurts, baked goods, and cereals. Sucralose has no effect on blood glucose or insulin. It is safe for people with diabetes, who can replace sugar with sucralose in managing their carbohydrate intake. More than 110 scientific studies over a 20 year period of time have concluded that sucralose is a safe, no-calorie sweetener.

No, quite the opposite. If you research any of the tanning products they are basically made of a sucrose [a.k.a. sugar base] that bastes the skin. You're perfectly safe now and in the long term because there is only a natural die and sugar in the product. I am a very sensitive and allergy prone person and I have never had an trouble at all. Also, I had a very bad third degree burn on 78% of my body a few years ago so I am also just now returning a more dermal layer of skin and I have had no trouble at all. Please feel to ask other questions as need. I'm happy to help and would be glad to hear about your results. No, quite the opposite.

It's a fancy way of saying Sugar Alcohol. It's a sweetner that doesn't have the same compounds as normal sugar, thus doesn't shoot up blood sugar or decay teeth as normal sugar can. It DOES however, have the possibility of giving one a major case of gas if they eat too much of it, because of how the sugar alcohol works. lol

Yes, if used as a sugar substitute. Extra bonus -- Yacon Syrup is a prebiotic.

Don't use it. It is known to cause cancer. Amazon sent an email regarding Canada banning this product a couple months ago. I am surprised they are still selling it.

No none as I've noticed my husband used this and it did work but found out it has ingredients that can cause cancer so we threw it out.

I use it as a herbal extract for the cancer fighting ellagic acid that it contains. I fell it would be excellent and healthy for baking, also.

It's naturally occurring sugar alcohol. Do an internet search to read more about it.

Update on this review... I would not buy this product again!The deodorant works great. But to answer your question anyone can use it. The bad news is that it isn't natural at all; it contains Triclosan,Side effects: skin irritation, endocrine disruption (bones), bacterial and compounded antibiotic resistance, including impacts to the thyroid hormone. More other negative health issues when you do more research.

Yes. Just use it like you would sugar. But it is a little sweeter for the same amount.

I don't know. I have read some comments or articles about it that, it cures cancer but I have not found any research supporting it. All I know is that , since I started drinking the soursop tea, I noticed that I started loosing weight and my blood sugar got better.

I would not use these butters for a deodorant because it would probably stain your clothes and make your feel sticky. If you're looking for natural deodorant, apply a little bit of baking soda after your shower while your underarms are still moist. Yes, the butters make a nice lip balm.

This is absolutely correct. Read this great article by Dr. Mercola on the topic >>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/10/07/sugar-substitutes.aspx

I no longer have the packaging so can't answer that question. I do know the sugars are sugar alcohols. There are some who think these are safe and others who think they are as dangerous as refined sugar, especially for diabetics.
