Organic Deodorant...one woman's story from the front lines of the battle of body odor

In an effort to go "green" I purchased some organic, parabun (sp?) free deodorant from Trader Joe's, which was a collossal mistake. Things were going well until lunchtime when I returned to the office smelling as if I had just trekked twenty miles through the Gobi desert and then bathed in a latrine. Thankfully, a friend of mine bailed me out with some real (albeit toxic) deodorant and I was back to business as usual. Moral of the story, unless you want to smell like a hippy from the Haight, do not use organic deodorant to save the environment, because you really will just be killing whoever comes within a 25 mile radius of you.
