The findings were called "overall reassuring" in an editorial published Tuesday with the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The analysis involving 250,000 women isn't definitive but more conclusive research probably isn't feasible because a dwindling number of women use powder for personal hygiene, the editorial said.
Smaller studies investigating a possible link between talcum powder and cancer have had conflicting results, though most found no connection. The researchers found hints of a potentially small increased risk for cancer for women who had never had a hysterectomy or fallopian tube-tying surgery. The American Cancer Society's Susan Gapstur said that fits with one theory for how genital use of talc might be risky: With a pathway not blocked by surgery, powder particles could potentially travel into the fallopian tubes and ovaries and cause irritation, inflammation and DNA damage that could lead to cancer.
and in ten years or so we will be informed that another study contradicts this one ..... what to believe, really !
Define 'big study'.🧐
Still why are some baby powders showing to have contained asbestos?
I would have targeted the investigation to lung cancer. Since more likely the product inhaled during application . how the heck they think women would get the powder into thier fallopian tubes?
Study paid for by Johnson & Johnson?
'No story here...' Is your story? Haha
a US government led research....
if you follow you probably wont get cancer
