I'm not saying you are wrong. Lymph nodes are very important and are one of the things that are affected by cancer in secondary stages.

What I'm saying is that people have been using this stuff (and worse stuff) for over 50 years now. There are loads and loads of toxic chemicals that each and every one of us come into contact with every day. If people wanna live as 'nature intended' and move out to an isolated island just to avoid getting cancer that you might get anyway just 'cause your body decides to start growing it then more power to them.

I just don't believe in freaking out and living each day in fear just because I might get cancer. I try to take care of myself, I don't drink too much, don't smoke, I wear sunscreen, try not to eat GM foods, etc. But why stop using products that have been around for our comfort and hygiene for decades because a tiny amount of a toxic chemical is in there and is probably gonna kill me in 70 years. I'm dying anyway (we all are) and will be dead in 70 years regardless. What difference does it make if its the chemicals that get me or old age or a courier on a motorbike not looking where he's going?

People worry too much about things they can do little about. Eventually, we're all gonna die.

I'm finished now, fight it out amongst yourselves.
