[quote=Clodfobble]The other function of sweating is removing toxins from your system, like peeing but to a lesser extent. I remember seeing a study a long time ago linking a rise in breast cancer to the advancement of anti-perspirant (as opposed to just deoderant) technology. But I never saw anything like it since.[quote]
