Talcum powder, or baby powder, is commonly used by mothers
to reduce diaper rash in babies as well as a means of personal hygiene for
women. This decade old practice is dangerous. Unfortunately, recent studies and
the American Cancer Society report that the use of talcum powder around the
genital area, or perineum, may increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
In addition, the inhalation of significant amounts of talcum
dusting powder can cause acute or chronic lung irritation, also known as
talcosis. Long-term exposure to talc fibers in work environments, such as talc
mines, can also attribute to higher risks of lung cancer.
