Thanks for the facts Dr. Greger. I remember reading about Talc in the early 2000's and it's carcinogenic potential. So much these days is not trustworthy! I'm still reeling from the rice we are feeding babies; filled with arsenic that lowers their IQ. I appreciate you informing the me and the public of the facts VERY much!

but not in Uganda…
Companies will start to destroy massively their archives. More and more storehouses will turn into smoke if it hadn't started yet.
does this mean all talc is bad for us, or only that specific brand?
I use talc only for my bike tire (doesn't stick which can cause punctures!).
Wow! This is seriously mind blowing!! My beautiful sweet grandmother passed from ovarian cancer and she used baby powder ALL the time!! It was part of her daily routine after she took a shower. When I was younger and I stayed at grandma's house after my bath grandma would put baby powder on me too! Thank the goodness that habit never stuck with me! I'm spreading the Word!
EEEEK! Stay safe everyone. Happy New Year!
So, for all those times I was sprinkling baby powder on my girls bottoms to help protect against wetness from their diapers; I was poisoning them. Thanks corporate propeghanda, I was duped again. I guess poisoning them early ensures that the pharmaceutical companies will get there money when the kids are older.
What does baby power do that you’d use it enough to cause cancer? (I was raised by a hippie, so I’ve never used or purchased a J&J product)
I know this video was focused on talcum powder and fibroids, but as a Black woman who had fibroids, ate/eats mostly plants and hasnt used tlac since i was 2 i believe there is a better reason for the discrepancy of in the occurrence of fibroids between Black and white women.
The levels of stress Black women have to face ( living at the intersection of race, gender ,sexual orientation ect) can take a toll on your health. Also some of the chemicals that some Black women use to straighten our hair are full of xenoestrogens. Not to mention the medical apartheid we face. Alot of times we are not believed when we tell doctors something is wrong. We are not given the same care ( take a look at the stats on Black mothers dying in child birth or shortly there after its astounding) regardless of our socioeconomic standing.
Also note how many times in your video you said " there are no studies on this". Well why arent studies being done to address this issue? I mean I know why, just wanted to point out how folks know there is a problem and people are dying from it, but nothing is being done. Wonder why 🤔
Curious. I've been aware of the danger of talc for decades. It is often found in association with asbestos, as both minerals metamorphose from serpentine minerals, and both have similar effects when inhaled as fine particulates. Which of course is unavoidable when using baby powder.
Also, something I never realized… until now… I am the only woman in my circle of close enough female acquaintances to know with an intact, healthy uterus. Everyone else has had a hysterectomy. Even women in my family younger than myself. I'm also the only long term vegan.
I had a watermelon sized fibroid removed in September and I've been vegetarian then vegan for 20 years (as of this year). It prevented me from reaching my goal weight unknowingly for years even though I ate clean AF. Good news I lost about 26 lbs on the operating table. LOL I did grow up culturally using baby powder but stopped as a child. Great vid as always doc!
What about talc in makeup? All of my face powders contain talc.
Johnson and Johnson execs can burn in hell.
Corporate greed! How many more people are they willing to kill? Unbelievable.
Thank you Dr. Greger for your information. Do you know what it is that causes cancer? Is it corn starch? Is it only Johnson & Johnson's Brand or is this all baby powder?
Do low vitamin d levels cause testosterone levels to drop because mine are 271 and I'm 16. I am deficient in d3 I'm gonna take a supplement but what should I do
Big Pharma claiming to be a friend of my family?! What a bunch of manipulative cunts.
how about using cornstarch based baby powder instead?
Is it harmful if talcum powder is used only for armpits?
No more powder on the pussy people.
Johnson and johnson have a advertisment of children in a hospital bed and they're trying to bring awareness. I saw the ad on instagram and i commented and said your shit product is what causes cancer.
Where I live I often noticed how Black people prefer fruit, but apparently that's not everywhere.
women put way too much crap on their bodies anyway…
It's probably the fried chicken.
No this talc thing is bullshit. Women with more dramatic funk use more products like this. And women with these issues are more likely to have adverse uterus problems ect. Its like blaming scented foot powder on athletes foot.
I'm Japanese, and my posture has been described as quail-like. This study is pertinent to me.
Thank you so much for your RESEARCH BASED medical info. The average person (and even some medical professionals I would suspect) get so inundated with facts and headlines about nutrition and health it's hard to know what to believe. I like that you use screen shots of studies to back up your opinions.
I also don't think most lay people know how much debate there can be in the medical community regarding studies, metastudies, and different diseases. Would you consider an upload on making sense of studies and a primer on how and where to find good studies for those who like to go an extra step? Or if you have- please put up a link.
It seems to me nearly everyone has an opinion on what is healthy and what isn't. I would love to see so more available on the best resources so people can follow up on a friend or loved one's health advice. Thanks. I will keep watching. I think your a trustworthy and well informed source.
Plot twist: Was expecting a “until now” not a “until never” 🤣🤣🤣
Why do black women put baby powder on their twats? (Im not going to ask google either)
Tal about scandalous!!! smh… always a target
So is this risk only for women if they use it in their genitals, or for women on all orifices, or men as well? My grandmother buys their powder, and I will definitely be telling her about this.
This is so sad … what has the world come to …
No baby powder either? What should I put on my penis then!? Please answer, doctor!!
When I started to do my own bathing and such as a kid, I noticed the baby powder my mom told me to use irritated my skin, so I stopped using it. I guess sensitive skin has its advantages. I'll be telling my mom to avoid the Gold Bond first thing in the morning…maybe switch to organic corn starch.
My Mom’s best friend passed away from a most tragic death; ovarian cancer likely due to her using talc in those areas. She used talc daily from the time my Mom first remembers around 18 until she was diagnosed at 57. When they checked it out, besides the cancer there were huge fibroids, the size of large grapefruit, in her.
Her family is involved with others in a class action lawsuit against them. I’m hoping for a great outcome for all of them.
Thank you Dr. Greger & team for your work on this – so many women don’t know to keep talc away!
So there's differences between races and genders, no surprise, how much more so between species.
Of course whatever information on how something affects quails might not be applicable to humans! It's quite ridiculous to think biological information/reactions from one species will apply to another.
I've often wondered, how can it be that other animals are so much like us that it's scientifically valid to extrapolate medical/biological results from them to us, yet at the same time they are so UNlike us that it's ethically acceptable to experiment on them? (It's not!)
When I first heard about the talc/cancer/fibroid link, I was surprised that so many womenfolk were sprinkling this stuff on their bits on a regular basis. Why were they doing that? Oh yeah, then I remembered commercials for things like powders, douches and sprays, because I guess some folks are concerned their pussy might smell like a pussy. A sprinkle a day helps keep odor away! Gotta smell fresh! 🌷🌼
And those corporate money-grubbers will take advantage of the concern about B.O. and suppress negative information about the product.
D3 is a hormone… not a vitamin. And at that most woman and men are plagued with Xenoestrogens within their diets and their products. Woman are low on progesterone… why is this not looked at?
… What exactly is the intended purpose of rubbing talc on your genitals?
Evil company
Dr Greger, please be careful on the subjects as this one brought problematic people. They'll start attacking you for being a white male doing white men's science.
Is this for "talcum power" which uses actual talc as it's "active" ingredient, or do these findings also apply to talcum power which uses cornstarch?
Would you say using cornstarch or arrow root powder is a better option than the baby powder?
There are some baking soda ball powders out there that work better and are probably safer, i hear Chassis is good
what??? why the hell would anyone ever put baby Powder on their genitals???…that makes no sense at all…ps NEVER EVER buy anything from the Johnson and Johnson company, they have done and still do the most cruel animal testing ever….this company is freaken evil!!
Whoa. Thank u. Hope more people read this
Can you do a video about this? https://youtu.be/7HbsyF-xBkc Specifically the iron and zinc part. The studies are in the description.
Sadly I have an addiction to eating baby powder and suffer from fibroids. I alway wondered which caused which, but I guess now I know. Lose a lot of blood during moon cycle>crave baby powder because of low iron>feed create fibroids OR Have fibroids>bleed excessively during moon cycle> low iron> crave and eat baby powder. I have found a dink called Black Seed Bitters. It has shrunk them significantly. I don’t bleed as much. I see a lot of clots of them breaking down during my cycle and I don’t have cramps at all anymore.
