Cosmetic talc is a fine mineral found in everyday baby powder products and designated by the World Health Organization as “possibly carcinogenic,” dating back to 2006. Talc has been linked to a particular form of cancer known as mesothelioma, which can take years for any warning symptoms to manifest. By that point, it may be too late for life-saving treatment, given its particularly aggressive nature. The key to treating mesothelioma… 
While no level of asbestos is considered safe, the best thing to do is avoid it altogether. However, asbestos is a naturally occurring material and is not a human-made product. While some countries have outright banned the use of asbestos, others such as the United States have continued to allow its limited use in products such as insulation. Homes built before the 1980s would commonly have asbestos in cement, floor… 
Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure is unavoidable despite the United States drastically reducing its use in construction. Asbestos remains embedded in piping and insulation from the 1970s when wide use persisted. Typically, the results of asbestos exposure, like the development of an illness, come several years later. Many people associate asbestos exposure with mesothelioma, a particularly aggressive form of cancer for which there is no…

Preexisting conditions, such as lung cancer or other lung diseases like mesothelioma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), can lead to more severe symptoms and complications than those experienced by the general public. In fact, research from China shows that… 
Doctors recognize mesothelioma as an aggressive and deadly cancer. One of the reasons it is so lethal is because the diagnosis tends only to come after symptoms begin to show. Mesothelioma can take years, if not decades, to manifest. As a result, this disease is usually detected in a more advanced stage of the cancer. The patient's delicate state often rules out curative treatment. Despite, and because of this, researchers… 
For decades, women and researchers have claimed a link between ovarian cancer and talc in Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and other products. Talcum powder can carry traces of asbestos, a known carcinogen. But manufacturers continue to use talc in many powder-based products, even though asbestos contamination is possible, and asbestos has been linked to many cancers and most cases of mesothelioma. Additionally, investigations show the U.S. Food and Drug…
