Basically: when we sweat via apocrine sweat glands, we excrete small amounts of hormones, including estrogen. These can be reabsorbed into the skin to different degrees, depending on if the area is covered. The antiperspirant blocking the pores could cause more reabsorption and therefor slightly higher estrogen levels, which is are linked to many breast cancers. What do you think girls?

Because these toxins can't be released, they build up and remain in your body. Then the toxins often become cancerous tumors. So, the aluminum itself isn't at fault; it's the fact that the aluminum blocks the pores and doesn't allow toxins to leave the body through sweat.
