Does talcum powder really cause cancer?

Coppolo · Member

Well, as far as I know some studies have shown mixed results regarding the link between specific types of cancer and talc, such as ovarian and lung cancer. I recommend to read carefully this article talcum powder ovarian cancer myallamericanhospice.com/talcum-powder-cancer/ which aims to discuss talcum powder, how it can cause cancer, how to lessen your risks to exposure, and what alternatives can be used in place of talcum powder. So, go through it and make sure you understand the problem

I am not sure about specific brands, but I have heard that pure talc does not cause cancer, but non-pure talc (in other words other forms of it) may do.

It is not a good idea to use it all over your body after showering and certainly not in your underwear around your intimate areas.

Your body absorbs up to 60% or more of what you put on your skin. I was told this by a dermatologist.

You will be directly putting it into your pores, from whence it gets into capillaries, into your bloodstream and then into your inner organs. You will also be blocking your pores up so they can't breathe. Also not good.
