The links to cancer are fairly strong, but links to other asbestos related diseases are inconclusive. The only way to completely negate your risk of mesothelioma and other cancers is to avoid talcum powder completely. Read product labels carefully to avoid any products that contain talc. Also make sure that your child’s hospital and or/daycare is not using any products that contain talc.
