Talc baby powder use raises risk of ovarian cancer 5-25-08
Cancer Prevention Coalition endorsed by leading national authorities on May
19 submitted a petition to the FDA to update scientific information detailed in
a petition submitted on Nov. 17,1994, which asked the agency to require an
ovarian cancer warning to be put on the label of cosmetic talc, but got
rejected.
The 2008 petition cited 11 reports in leading scientific journals to say genital
dusting with talc powder increases risk of ovarian cancer by 30 to 60 percent.
In an early statement, the coalition says that over 40 scientific publications
showed the genital use of talc powder increases the cancer by 35 to 90 percent.
According to the non-profit environmental health advocate, up to 20 percent of
U.S. pre-menopausal women regularly dust their genital area, sanitary pads or
contraceptive diaphragms with cosmetic grade talcum powder, which is largely
made by Johnson and Johnson.
Ovarian cancer kills 15,000 women in the United States each year, according to
the press release by the coalition which says in an August 12, 1992 New York
Times article, Johnson & Johnson admitted that genital use of talc power raises
the cancer by three-fold.
The coalition says cornstarch power is a perfect safe and effective alternative
to talc power.
