Talcum powder 'poses cancer risk to women' - Independent on Sunday
Extract:
"The practice of discreetly puffing underwear with a dab of talcum powder may be increasing women's risk of ovarian cancer.
Research shows that women who use talc have a 17 per cent higher risk of getting the cancer. Researchers say using a small amount of talc in the pelvic area may lead to it reaching the ovaries and increasing the risk of the most common gynaecological cancer in the UK, with more than 4,000 deaths a year."
I'm rather surprised to read this as news. - I first read of the connection between ovarian cancer and talc used in the genital area many years ago...
