Studies Point to Talcum Powder Causing Cancer
There are studies dating back to 1971 that link talcum powder to ovarian cancer and now a recent survey has found women who regularly powdered their genitals, thighs, sanitary napkins, tampons, and underwear were 33% more likely to develop ovarian cancer than those who did not.
For years, both the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have considered the use of talc near genitals a risk for ovarian cancer. Despite these studies and talc being listed on various cancer society websites as a risk, Johnson & Johnson has not included a warning label on their products.
