[edit] Copyright Violation? / NPOV

The entire section about cancer risk was taken word-for-word from this site. The information from the site was also horribly biased, misleading, poorly documented, and pseudoscientific. I replaced it with a filler containing links to several abstracts of the research previously provided; a followup would be nice. SReynhout 00:06, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

This morning I was reading about Talc stunting lung cancer tumor growths...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.214.200.41 (talk)

[edit] Baby powder

Most baby powder these days seems to be made of cornstarch, not talc. Perhaps having baby powder redirect here is inappropriate? --EngineerScotty 22:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I've made baby powder a stub now; it no longer redirects here. Aleta 08:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this page even protected?

I have an image that I want to add to the page as per the request on Requested Pictures. The image is at the right.

Talcum Powder

I took the picture myself and I think that it can contribute to the article. M@$+@ Ju ~ 01:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ovarian Tumor claims

in 1971 researchers found particles of talc embedded in 75 percent of the ovarian tumors studied.

What is the percentage for normal tumors/ovaries? Without this information the statement above is meaningless.—Preceding unsigned comment added by TheJoff (talkcontribs)

[edit] Powder?

Talcum Powder redirects here, but this page does not describe what talcum powder is. It should. Or Talcum Powder should have it's own page, or it should not redirect here. --illumi 01:28, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. --illumi 18:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
