Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Re: Is vinegar a good antiperspirant substitute?

Thanks again everyone. Summarizing, it seems we shouldn't be concerned about the chemicals present in vinegar – in what concerns its interactions of with our skin. But (going back to the original question) what about the potential harmful effects they could have on the natural fungi of our body?
The BBC piece echoed the positive effects of many of those found in our feet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22622689
Considering the effects upon both skin and fungi, what's our call?
Better to use vinegar –which might be more chemical light with our skin but more aggressive with the fungi—or rather, better to use the household products from the big multinationals (PG, JNJ, Unilever, etc)
N.B. for anyone interested in experimenting themselves: vinegar is quite odorous until it evaporates (a matter of hours). I applied it (un-dissolved) before going to bed, during one or two months.
Thanks again,
R
