  1. HAS TALCUM POWDER BEEN LINKED TO OVARIAN CANCER? Risk of ovarian cancer when talcum powder used for feminine hygiene!

  2. ★ ★ Talcum powder, may increase the risk of ovarian cancer when used for feminine hygiene ★ ★ Recent court cases have shined a spotlight on the possible link between women's regular use of talcum powder on their genitals ★ ★ And an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer

  3. EXPERT OPINIONS CONCLUDE SIGNIFICANT LINK BETWEEN TALCUM POWDER & OVARIAN CANCER Daniel Cramer, M.D., a doctor and medical researcher at Harvard University; Since numerous tissue samples from cancer-stricken ovaries have revealed the presence of talc particles, talc particles are likely to play a significant role in causing the disease

  4. WHAT IS TALC? ★ ★ Talc is a naturally occurring mineral that is made up of magnesium and silicon,along with some hydrogen and oxygen ★ ★ Talc is a soft mineral – so soft that a fingernail can scratch it – and it can be pulverized easily ★ ★ It is the main ingredient in the chalk that welders use to mark their metals. In powdered form

  5. ★ ★ It is used to coat the insides of rubber gloves and inner tubes to prevent the surfaces from sticking together ★ ★ Most people know talc because it is the active ingredient in talcum powder and baby powder ★ ★ In those products, talc acts to wick away moisture from the skin, thus preventing chafing and diaper rash

  6. WHAT ARE THE HAZARDS OF TALC? ★ ★ The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) specifically recommends that caregivers not use baby powder or talcum powder on babies ★ ★ The AAP’s warning was not issued because of a specific cancer threat! ★ ★ But because any foreign matter inhaled into the lungs could pose hazards, especially in infants
