How the FDA knew of serious health concerns about talc powders and cosmetics but relied upon and deferred to industry for more than 50 years:

Since at least the 1970s, the regulatory agency downplayed health concerns about talc in powders and cosmetics, deferring again and again to manufacturers. Only now, as pressure mounts from lawsuits and a Reuters investigation, is the agency stepping up testing.

just like vaccines

So, totally trust them with these covid vaccines then?

Now do COVID vaccines.

Same with vaccines…

Huh, but the jabs are safe and effective right? No possible contamination or degradation with these new jabs developed at warp speed and mass produced at scale. I’m sure the fda is totally on it this time. 🙄

QueenofCr8tvty Yeah and now trump wants the nation's slaughter houses to police themselves!

Thank you for sharing this article.

If FDA screwed up with lousy talc what about all other drugs I take like Losartan, Amlodipine, Atenelol & other crap? Should we call it FCA instead of FDA? Federal Crap Agency?

If you really want an eye opener, Look at the complete list of items approved by our FDA that have harmful or deadly side effects... FACT CHECK THAT ✓

Who was first ... FAA or FDA ? ..

Why isn't talc forbidden yet?

Pathologist have reported for many years !

The FDA is nothing but a money grab. They don't test anything.

Chinese production methods in the USA.

but sure, this country needs less regulation of industry (sarcasm)

It’s no wonder why there seems to be such an increase in cases of ovarian cancer. Generations of Mothers have unwittingly set daughters up for it through diaper changes. Wonder if there could be a link to prostate or anal cancers in men.

Dr. DavidEgilman, a clinical professor of family medicine at BrownUniversity, testified last year in a trial that ended in a $4.69 billion verdict for women alleging JAndJ’s TalcPowders caused their OvarianCancers.

JandJ faces more than 16,000 lawsuits alleging that its powders caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma, an incurable cancer.

It has no power to ensure the safety of cosmetics, nor to force companies to pull them off when potential hazards are discovered. FDAknew - for decades - children and adults were being exposed to asbestos.

Just goes to show how powerful these corporations are and profit over safety is priority as the government agencies sit back denying professionals to show evidence

Next you're going to tell me the food pyramid was bunk.

This is more corruption. We expect the FDA to protect us! This is a major failure that needs to be investigated to understand why this was kept secret!

Yeah- my dad's lady friend died of ovarian cancer after using talc for ages. She was a really sweet lady, and it was devastating when she died.
