Question restatement: A roommate asks whether antiperspirants may cause breast cancer, and you’re filling in two blanks to respond appropriately. The completed response should read: You [Select] [should not] be concerned about antiperspirants causing breast cancer as there is [Select] [no evidence] that the aluminum is absorbed to produce estrogen-like effects.

Analyzing the first blank options:
- should not: This option supports a reassured stance, suggesting there is no need for concern. It aligns with the mainstream medical consensus that antiperspirants are not proven to cause breast cancer, so this is the appropriate choice.
- should: This would imply that one ought to be concerned. It contradicts evidence-based guidance, which generally finds no causal link between aluminum-based antiperspirants and breast cancer, making this option misleading.

Analyzing the second blank options:
- no evidence: This conveys that there is no evidence supporting the claim that aluminum is absorbed to produce estrogen-like effects, which matches the scientific consensus that systemic absorption is minimal and not linked to cancer risk in humans at typical exposure levels.
- a lot of evidence: This would imply strong evidence of absorption and estrogen-like impact, which is not supported by the bulk of toxicology and epidemiological data on aluminum-containing antiperspirants in relation to breast cancer; presenting this as fact would be inaccurate and raise misconceptions.

Additional context to distinguish edge cases:
- If one said there is no evidence at all of any effect, that wording can be accurate for rare or low-absorption scenarios, but the phrase in common guidance focuses on the absence of credible evidence for a causal link to cancer at typical exposure, making 'no evidence' the correct framing here.
- It is important to avoid implying causation from correlation or from mechanisms that lack robust support, which is why the negative framing ('no evidence') is preferred over any claim of strong evidence.

Summary of correct selections in context: The intended, evidence-aligned response selects 'should not' for the first blank and 'no evidence' for the second blank, reflecting that you should not be concerned and that there is no evidence that aluminum from antiperspirants is absorbed to cause estrogen-like effects.
