Talcum powder tied to cancer


Today I want to share something very serious

What if you use a product that can give you cancer? Would you continue using it? Well please allow me to explain




Talcum powder or better known as baby powder isnt good for women. It is very serious
I personally am very shocked at this fact. I used it and found an article that warned against the use of it. Then did research and found that even cancer sites warned against the use of it


Why does it do that? Talcum powder contains asbestos. Asbestos is can cancer causing. 
Just by even breathing the talc you can get lung cancer. Because you breath in the asbestos too.

What type of cancer does it cause then for women? Ovarian cancer. Or as others would say. Cancer of  the ovaries

Ever heard of the International Agency for Research on Cancer  or short name (IARC) It is part of the World Health Organization (WHO). Their biggest goal is to identify the causes of cancer.

In their report this is what they had to say

"IARC classifies talc that contains asbestos as “carcinogenic to humans.”
perineal (genital) use of talc-based body powder as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

As seen here it means that it has a risk for causing cancer in women. Because asbestos is one of it's ingredients. So if you are using it. Do you still feel safe? I stopped. I wont touch it again. 

One woman even took a famous brand company to court for the use of asbestos in their talc. Only after discovering their use of asbestos and the result? She has cancer.  She won. But her health is affected. So please reconsider the use of it. Many companies say their talc is asbestos free. But they have to be able to prove it. 


If you want to buy talc. It is best to make sure you use talc that is asbestos free. That is the only way to make sure you and your loved ones are safe. But as for me. 
I say no thanks. I will pass on that chance.

If you know of anyone that uses it. Please warn them. It can make a difference in their lives. Feel free to share so others also know about the serious health risk it poses.
