Well, there are plenty of people who grew up seeing J&J baby powder commercials powdered on baby butts.

The stuff must be bad if they won’t even sell it in 3rd world countries anymore.

We even survived without car seats or even sea belts. With a long line of BB guns behind me, I still have both eyes. The welts heal pretty fast.

Stores in Florida panhandle and south Alabama stopped selling baby powder with talcum almost two years ago. The cornstarch substitute is nowhere as good.

This talcum powder racket is probably the greatest Bambulance Shyster scam of all time. Just a bunch of trashy legal beagles playing Win The Lottery with other people’s money.

How about all the other baby powder manufacturers. Are they going to continue selling talcum powder now that the big bucks boys are being skinned.

Better ‘hoard’ some now.

One. No I don’t believe ALL asbestos can give you cancer. That’s an environmentalist wacko myth. Back in the 90s, I read a book, Environmental Overkill by Washington State governor and DEMOCRAT, Dixy Lee Ray. Not all asbestos causes cancer. That was more or less an ambulance chaser myth. It still is. But hey! Whatever makes them rich.

It seems I recall something from decades ago when barbers were getting a certain kind of cancer, and many believed it was due to the talcum powder they used.

I'm male so I don't know about the ovarian cancer aspect. But I'm a guitarist, and when my hands sweat I can't play right.

So I carry a container of baby powder in my gig bag. At first I used the talc-based powder, but it gummed up like clots and that was horrible. Then I tried using the cornstarch-based powder and it is great.

I also discovered as I got older that the cornstarch powder works better than the talc powder when my crotch gets sweaty during a gig and I want to dry it out.

So as far as I'm concerned the cornstarch is the way to go.

If that also happens to keep me from getting cancer, fine.

Wasn’t the allegation that it wasn’t the talcum powder itself but other ingredients that supposedly got mixed in?

We never used it much. Found that as long as we kept the babies in dry diapers, they never got a rash. I’m thin so when I sweat, there’s no chafing.
