    At present, there is no particularly clear scientific evidence to prove that talcum powder causes cancer. According to the observation of Europe and the United States, long-term use can cause cancer, such as some talcum powder wraps have this ingredient. Talcum powder itself is harmless to humans, so it is also added to food, medicine and cosmetics to beautify color and improve taste or feel.

    However, since talc is a natural ore, unfiltered natural talc powder may contain asbestos, which can be harmful to health if inhaled into the lungs, so it is not suitable for direct use. At present, the European Union requires all baby products and cosmetics containing talcum powder to use filtered talc to avoid asbestos mixing.

    Harmful. Stone powder is closely related to asbestos, a potent carcinogen. Talcum powder particles have been shown to cause tumors in the ovaries and lungs of cancer patients. For nearly 30 years, scientists have been closely examining talcum powder particles and have discovered dangers similar to asbestos.

    In 1973, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responded to this evidence by drafting a resolution to limit the amount of asbestos fibers in cosmetic-grade talc.

    However, no official decision has been made, and cosmetic-grade talcum powder remains exempt from federal** regulation. This idleness ignores the 1993 National Toxicology Project report, which found that cosmetic-grade talcum powder, which does not contain any asbestos fibers, caused tumors in animal study subjects.

    Obviously, cosmetic-grade talcum powder, with or without asbestos fibers, is a carcinogen.

    The harm of talcum powder is mainly due to the possibility of carcinogenicity. Talcum powder is often used externally, for prickly heat, eczema and other parts, for clearing heat and dampness, and is often used as a medium for massage and other techniques. Most of the talcum powder and prickly heat powder for daily consumption are talcum powder as the main ingredient.

    However, talcum powder has been confirmed to be toxic. Researchers have found that talcum powder is associated with the onset of ovarian cancer and lung cancer, and that talcum powder particles will be deposited into the ovaries after entering the human body, causing cancerous changes in ovarian cells. Talc, which contains silica, can lead to a significantly higher risk of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases if inhaled into the lungs. The toxicity of talcum powder is certain, so it is recommended that you can reduce the frequency of eating talcum powder and other talcum powder-containing substances in your daily life, and you can choose to use calamine lotion instead.

    Non-carcinogenic.

    Talc is a common silicate mineral with a soft and creamy texture. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that talc internal administration has the effect of clearing heat and dissipating heat, and facilitating urination, and external use can reduce dampness and sores. Its efficacy and indications have been recorded for a long time, such as "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Materia Medica", "Compendium of Materia Medica", etc., and there is no mention of its toxicity or ***.

    In addition, some authoritative literature, such as clinical reports, journals, and medical journals, has not recorded that talc causes cancer.

    Although it is not carcinogenic, talc is cold and slippery, and the principle of dialectics should be followed when using medicine, otherwise it will also have adverse effects on the human body.

    Under normal, reasonable and foreseeable conditions of use, it will not cause harm to human health.

    Professor Li Qiong, former vice chairman of the National Technical Committee for the Standardization of Fragrances, Flavors and Cosmetics, said that talcum powder is widely used in various cosmetics, especially powdered cosmetics, and will not cause harm to human health under normal, reasonable and predictable use conditions according to the existing relevant regulations.

    She said that as long as it is produced by regular manufacturers, purchased through formal channels, and strictly supervised and tested by national regulatory agencies, talcum powder products for cosmetics can be used with confidence without unnecessary panic.

    Li Qiong said that in the natural environment, some talc and asbestos ore are mostly associated or symbiotic, and some industrial talc raw materials with insufficient purity are easy to mix into asbestos, and asbestos is a known carcinogen.

    Therefore, talcum powder for cosmetics is a high-quality, high-purity cosmetic raw material that has been rigorously tested. The cosmetics testing standards issued by the regulatory authorities of various countries clearly require that "asbestos shall not be detected" in talcum powder used in cosmetics.

    About talcum powder causing ovarian cancer:

    Professor Jiang Hua, vice president of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, said that from a medical professional point of view, it is difficult to attribute individual cases to the use of talcum powder because its pathogenic mechanism cannot be explained.

    In general, the tissue structure of the female reproductive system is closed, and the direction of movement of the cilia in the fallopian tubes is also unidirectional, and foreign bodies are unlikely to enter the ovaries directly.

    Reverse reasoning, if talcum powder can enter the ovaries through this route, then bacteria and viruses are smaller and can be driven straight into the ovaries for a long time, but this is not the case.

    Professor Jiang Hua also pointed out that the baby talcum powder sold as a cosmetics has reached the listing standard, indicating that it meets the requirements of relevant departments at home and abroad for the product, and there is no safety problem.

    People's Daily Online-Expert: Talcum powder products can be used with confidence under strict testing conditions.

    People's Daily Online - "The hypothesis that talcum powder causes ovarian cancer is untenable".
