Talcum Powder In Question
Category: Health News
“TALC is used as a powder for baby powder, face masks, make-up foundation, eye shadow and after bath powders. It is also used as an additive in creams and lotions and some deodorant sticks. As a powder it has been implicated in a rise in ovarian cancer. A study in the journal Cancer in 1982 revealed that women who use talc are 3.28 times more likely to contract ovarian cancer. It is also noted as a grade 3 or questionable carcinogen. It is believed that the frequent contamination of talc with asbestos and silica is responsible for its carcinogenicity. There are thousands of cases a year of infants accidentally inhaling talc and suffering from respiratory distress. A number of these cases are fatal. In adults there are four designated types of talc-induced lung disease. It should not be used on female genitals or on babies at all.” (Kevin Farrow, Skin Deep, p.134)Return To Feature Menu
