The source you provided doesn't support your claim >BABY POWDER WILL NOT GIVE YOU CANCER

Medical background my ass. Did you finish two years of premed then call that medical background?

From the article:
>The evidence about asbestos-free talc,
which is still widely used, is less clear.
>Studies that exposed lab animals (rats, mice, and hamsters) to asbestos-free talc in
various ways have had mixed results
>Based on the lack of data from human studies and on limited data in lab animal
studies, IARC classifies inhaled talc not containing asbestos as “not classifiable as to
carcinogenicity in humans.”
>Based on limited evidence from human studies of a link to ovarian cancer, IARC
classifies the perineal (genital) use of talc-based body powder as “possibly
carcinogenic to humans.”

Whether it's safe or not requires more research with independent checks, but why would I risk using talc powder when there's a cheap and undoubtedly safe alternative?
