Today as I looked at the back of my antiperspirant I noticed a label on it that says:
Warnings
Ask a doctor before use if you have kidney disease.
It seems to me they bolded the wrong part of the sentence. I would figure this should be a screaming label to the population that is going to use their product.
In a document dated December 21st, 2007:
The National Institutes of Health states "A growing number of Americans have chronic kidney disease and don't know it. This trend is hampering efforts to prevent irreversible kidney failure according to a study by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. An estimated 26 million people now have chronic kidney disease, says Dr. Paul Eggers, co-author of the study. He talks about some of the elements that factor in the increase of chronic kidney disease in the U.S. population."
In all of my visits to a doctor since September of 2006, not a single doctor that I have seen for this issue has told me to halt the use of antiperspirants. How many individuals are unaware they have an acute kidney disease with no warning signs but are continuing to use this product?
