I don't like eating aluminum. I like licking armpits. I am biased.

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.

We don't have to agree, except on one thing. Chuds suck because they're assholes, not because they stink.

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."
