Thug life …every thing is political,in this commercialized world people are made escape goat …company has to pay anyway,!!!

Hard to find anything that won’t cause cancer, these days…

Thanks for tagging me @everhopeful I do use a lot of talcum powder, Johnson and Johnson too. I use it to block my pores so I’m harder to track.

I hadn’t read this news story before but I did see one news article once about a woman’s family who had a law suit against J&J for ovarian cancer caused by talcum use.

And Mr Turtle keeps reminding me about the possible link too.

But it’s really hard for me to stop. I use it as a form of self protection (I also like the smell, it’s J&J baby nighttime powder and it has essential oils in it, it’s very calming).

Thanks @everhopeful

Judging from that article it’s inconclusive as to the risk . Best to err on the side of caution though.

I am guessing there are talc free powders for the intimate areas?

I used to use powder everyday, but stopped as soon as I heard talc (which is a naturally occurring mineral) might cause cancer. I haven’t used powder for about five or more years now.

is it called… “DEEZ NUTZ”?

Does anyone else not question what a 62 y/o cancer patient is going to do with $55m?

I feel like some of it should go to cancer research or something. Seems a lot of money. Am I being insensitive?
