Talc and cancer link.

[Rhino]

See in the news about talc and chemicals like asbestos being used in it. Wonder after 40 years on the scene has it effected us ? Massive law suite like the one in America and advert on tv asking for people to make claims against manufacturers. It's a touchie subject with some people but will this be the end of talc and the soul scene ?

There was quite a long thread on the subject back in 2007.

I often look at this issue and more than worrying about the niter scene I worry about my two sons.

As a father of twins we used talc all the time in the early 90s and I hope it hasn't caused any long term problems.  Probably won't know until I have long gone

Slipperine supposedly contains Boric Acid so miles healthier to ingest ... !

Thanks for sharing. Takes me back..

We were more at risk of cancer from smoking back then as far more did then than do now.

Talc usage at venues has declined over the years I’m sure.

 I’d be more concerned about the sugar in your tea than talc particles tbh..

Talc was definitely not the powder causing problems as I recall ...
