Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist and Executive Admit Baby Powder Contained ‘Cancer-Causing Heavy Metals’ (VIDEO)

The O’Keefe Media Group on Friday released undercover video of a Johnson & Johnson lead scientist and executive admit that baby power contained cancer causing heavy metals.

This is the second undercover video in OMG’s series exposing Johnson & Johnson.

Joshua Rys, a Regulatory Affairs Scientist who managed Johnson & Johnson’s baby products spilled the truth to an OMG undercover journalist.

“When I started, actually I started working on the consumer group. Johnson’s was one of my brands. So I managed all the baby products. So actually, when that all happened, I was working on that,” said Joshua Rys.

Rys continued, “It wasn’t actually the product itself, it was an impurity. So naturally talc comes from mines, and the mines don’t have, I guess, 100 percent accurate standards. So the heavy metals, it’s not the talc itself that gives you the cancer, it’s the heavy metals that are in there.”

David Altman, Executive & Senior Clinical Analyst at Johnson & Johnson, said, “This is not your father’s J&J… they don’t really give a sh*t about people.”

What other products contain heavy metals?


Why do vaccines contain heavy metals?

Drinking water has heavy metals. Does their baby powder have a dangerous amount of heavy metals? I don’t know by this article.

But one thing is funny - the ability to measure trace amounts of toxins is relatively recent, and the mark is somehow claiming that the baby powder from long ago was clean. Strange.

Thank goodness you never had ovarian cancer!

“Asbestos.”

I don’t think that was mentioned in the article.

Well, my mom used J&J talcum baby powder for years and died of ovarian cancer as a result. The very first question the surgeon asked after the initial operation was if she used the J&J talcum powder.

It’s been proven to cause ovarian cancer (it contained asbestos) and J&J finally banned the product in the last 5 years or so, after decades of tens of thousands of deaths.

They settled individual claims for millions, then decided to go the class action suit route. They have created subsidiaries with limited balance sheet to force a low money verdict which the court has refused.

They’ve tried bankruptcy and the courts have refused. It appears they are finally agreeing to a payout of 9 or 10 billion with thousands of victims. Their legal bill has got to be astronomical all by itself.

Every time you take a breath of air, a drink of water, or a bite of any food you are ingesting and breathing some intensely toxic metals and other intensely toxic molecules. This is today and 100,000 years ago before industry and metal foundries, DuPont, Johnson & Johnson, and all the facets of an industrial society.

It is all about concentration of the toxic substances and always has been. Per my toxicology professor, “The solution to pollution is dilution.”

Did Johnson and Johnson commit a crime? If they knew the levels of toxic metals in the talc and what was a safe level they did commit a crime and deserve jail. If they did not know it was not a crime but they are still legally and totally responsible for any harm done.

Then it gets complex. Talc is a layer silicate with metals tied up in the crystal lattice of the silicate layers. Most are iron, potassium and sodium with some toxic heavy metals. Did they know the solubility of this in human vaginal fluids? If it is not soluble it will not hurt you. In reality they did not. But they are still responsible.

I think what really happened is talc had been used for many years starting in 1892 by Johnson and Johnson. Neither Johnson and Johnson nor others suspected the potential toxicity. When first marketed we did not have the laboratories that could do the chemical analysis of such.

“The lead contents in all brands were in the range of 0.0006-1.05 ppm, while cadmium contents were in the range of 0.001-0.080 ppm and chromium contents were 0.08-0.35 ppm, copper contents were 0.07-0.35 ppm, cobalt contents were 0.003-0.180 ppm ranges were present.”

“The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents avoid using baby powder because it poses a risk of respiratory problems, including breathing trouble and serious lung damage if inhaled. The small size of the particles makes it difficult to keep them out of the air while applying the powder. Zinc oxide-based ointments are a much safer alternative.”
