Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / January 200530 studies link talc on condoms to ovarian cancer
A link between talc and ovarian cancer has been supported by nearly 30 studies over the past 30 years published in scientific journals. Dr. Bernard L. Harlow and associates at Harvard Medical School conducted a study where they "sought to determine whether the use of talc in genital hygiene increases the risk for epthelial ovarian cancer." Their conclusion stated "...a lifetime pattern of perineal talc use may increase the risk for epithelial cancer.." and "We discourage the use of talc in the genital hygiene, particularly as a daily habit." An article in Cancer magazine in 1982, "Ovarian cancer and talc: a case-control study", concluded that a lifetime of daily use of talc directly on the genital area or on sanitary napkins increases a woman's risk of contracting ovarian cancer by more than three times. The Cancer Prevention Coalition is fighting for warning labels on products containing talc and have started a petition drive. They say "A wide range of scientific studies over the last three decades have clearly linked talc use and ovarian cancer." Both the American Cancer Society as well as the National Cancer Institute caution women that regular talc use has been shown to increase the risk of ovarian cancer. It has been suggested that talcum powder may be carcinogenic to the covering layer of the ovaries through the migration of talcum powder particles (applied to the genital area, sanitary napkins, diaphragms, or condoms) through the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes to the ovary. Several epidemiologic studies have examined the relationship between talcum powder and cancer of the ovary >A link between talc and ovarian cancer has been supported by nearly 30 >studies over the past 30 years published in scientific journals. LOL. You really are f.cking brain dead. Using talcum powder DAILY on a larger surface area is NOT the same as a bit of talc that may be left on a condom--and many are talc free--during acts of coitus. Again--risks? Pretty low in re ovarian cancer from using a condom. NOT using a condom? STDs. HIV. AIDS. Death. I'd say it's a no brainer but I'm beginning to suspect you're anencephalic. George M.

"Using talcum powder DAILY on a larger surface area is NOT the same as a bit of talc that may be left on a condom--and many are talc free--during acts of coitus." TRUE. A moist internal surface is a FAR, FAR greater risk. Thanks for pointing that out. >"Using talcum powder DAILY on a >larger surface area is NOT the same as a bit of talc that may be left >on a condom--and many are talc free--during acts of coitus." > >TRUE.

But NOT from occasional small exposure related to insertion of a penis with a latex condom on it. All that wet and moisture probably washes it all out pretty quick anyway. George M.

A moist internal surface is a FAR, FAR greater risk. Thanks for >pointing that out. You don't know how many condoms are made with talc. You don't know how much talc finishing powder would be used on a condom. You don't know how much talcum powder shaken onto a woman's perineum would get into her "moist internal surface". Maybe you don't even know what a perineum is. You do not have the knowledge that would enable you to compare exposures to talc from these two sources. You are presenting ignorant speculation as fact.

"Findings are mixed, with some studies reporting a slightly increased risk and some reporting no association." http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_6x_Talcum_Powder_and_Cancer.asp? sitearea= SignatureDavid Canzi "A link between talc and ovarian cancer has been supported by nearly 30 studies over the past 30 years published in scientific journals." >"A link between talc and ovarian cancer has been supported by nearly 30 >studies over the past 30 years published in scientific journals." List them.

Perhaps even just the ones where CONDOMS are the exclusive source of talc exposure. You are grasping at straws. The case is proved. Are you disputing the source? >Are you disputing the source? Lame. If you can cut and paste a claim that nearly 30 studies support an opinion of yours, why not just go back to your source and cut and paste the list of studies? SignatureDavid Canzi They listed five most of which I have quoted from. You go look if you choose to question the article. I'm tired of your silly attempts to disguise the clear and obvious truth. CONDOMS CAUSE CANCER. PERIOD. >They listed five most of which I have quoted from. You go look if you >choose to question the article. You seem to be talking about a letter to JAMA you refer to in another thread, but the quote I'm asking about, "a link between talc and ovarian cancer has been supported by nearly 30 studies over the past 30 years published in scientific journals," doesn't come from that letter. Whenever I ask you about that list of studies, you respond with irrelevancies. What is so hard about either posting the list of studies, or telling us the URL so we can go look for ourselves? SignatureDavid Canzi Will do as you are too lazy to look them up. >Will do as you are too lazy to look them up. Who are you calling lazy? It would have taken you seconds to post the URL. It took me a web search, with no certainty of success, to find the information source you repeatedly refused to reveal. Here is the claim you posted: "A link between talc and ovarian cancer has been supported by nearly 30 studies over the past 30 years published in scientific journals." Here is its source: http://www.organicformulations.com.au/talcum_powder.asp You couldn't list the "nearly 30 studies" because that web page doesn't list them. In spite of the likely self-serving motivations of the web page's creators, you accepted their claim uncritically, and passed it along unverified. SignatureDavid Canzi >CONDOMS CAUSE CANCER. PERIOD. LOL. Gee--sounds like one of your brilliant "tis so, tis so" posts! Maroon! I agree you are a moron. Thanks for pointing it out. |
