Asbestos-Free Talc Not Linked to Lung Cancer, Mesothelioma, or Laryngeal Cancer Risk

Summary: Good news for anyone worried about talc! Researchers reviewed multiple studies on workers who mine or work with talc. They found that as long as the talc is completely free of asbestos, it is not linked to a higher risk of lung cancer, mesothelioma, or throat (laryngeal) cancer. Even for people who are around large amounts of it every day, their lungs appear to be safe.
