What SERIOUS ILLNESSES link to Talcum Powder Use?

The most dangerous potential side effect from the use of talcum powder by women is ovarian cancer, caused by the powder entering the ovaries through the vagina.
Women who use talcum powder in their groin area have a 20 to 30% greater risk of developing ovarian cancer. The more often a woman uses it, the more likely she will experience ovarian cancer.
Illnesses associated with the frequent use of talcum powder include:
Mesothelioma: When inhaling talcum powder over a long period of time, some may develop a serious lung disease known as Mesothelioma. According to new research talcum powder can contain asbestos. Inhaling asbestos fibers is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma as well as other very serious respiratory ailments.
Ovarian cancer: Women have been using body powders and feminine hygiene products with talc for years. The particles of the talcum powder have traveled through the vagina into the uterus and Fallopian tubes into the ovaries. Research shows that this can cause inflammation and increase the risk of ovarian cancer in women.
Talcosis: This is a condition where there is acute or chronic lung irritation. When a person inhales particles of the powder, it can cause fast and shallow breathing, coughing and wheezing.
