How Does Talc Powder Cause Your Ovarian Cancer?

Talcum Powder is made up mostly of magnesium, silicon and oxygen, which, when ground into a powder form, can absorb moisture. For decades, talcum powder has been widely used to help keep skin dry and to prevent irritation and rashes. But when used on or near the genitals, particles can travel into the ovaries and remain there for years, causing inflammation and leading to the growth of cancer cells.

What’s more, a study by a Harvard doctor estimates that talc in hygiene products may be a contributing factor in the development of ovarian cancer in as many as 10,000 women each year.

Despite the scientific evidence, talcum powder continued to be used by Johnson & Johnson, unregulated and without any warning from the manufacturer.

Johnson & Johnson is currently facing more than 1,200 lawsuits alleging its products have led to ovarian cancer.

So far in 2016, two Missouri juries have weighed in clearly and strongly on the matter.
