It's relevant in the same way that equating using a salt scrub in the bath with death from directly eating a pound of table salt is relevant.
"I really like using my salt scrub - it gives me super smooth skin." "Bro, sodium HAZ negative effects on the body. THIS IS RELEVANT."
Also, I made a late edit to the above comment that might be of interest since this thread is originally about why I downvoted you.
This is a very fair point that I admit I did not take into consideration.
It's absolutely a reasonable position to not be in favor of anti-perspirant if it's likely you'd be in a position to ingest it, at least for your potential partners specifically.
That said, I also think that's likely a minority position in the thread, enough so to warrant a disclaimer when you posted the original studies.
This is especially the case if that fact is what your argument against using anti-perspirants is actually resting on, and you're not just trying to find post-hoc support of your dislike of anti-perspirants in general.
It still doesn't really explain the studies about miners and zebrafish though.
The closest I can get is "Chuds suck because they're assholes, and the fact that some of them stink is a very small but valid additional reason to not want to be around them."
