If you have a bottle of baby powder in your house, read the label and warnings (then throw the bottle away).
Johnson & Johnson warns against eye contact and inhalation of the powder. There is no mention of the talc particles' ability to remain on the skin for years and reach the ovaries.
It is also not stated on the bottle that talc causes inflammation and an ideal environment for growing cancer cells.
The company admitted to being aware of the dangers of their baby powder, as indicated in the 1982 study. And stated that they decided not to warn their loyal customers about the side effects of using the powder.
That's not all
Using baby powder on your baby is probably more dangerous than using it on yourself. The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned parents against using baby powder, specifically powder containing talc. This mineral is easily absorbed into the air and can be inhaled by infants, causing dryness of the mucous membranes.
