Be Clean…Be Lean…

Here you are a brand new parent with this newborn miniature girl child that has needs only you can meet.

One major need is to try to keep that baby high and dry. What do we do?

We fall back on what our mothers did when baby was wet. We use either cloth or store bought diapers. But the problem comes with what we sprinkle on baby’s tender butt to ensure that no wet patches are present before wrapping this precious package for the next couple of hours.

It could be that through ignorance you are exposing your child to possible toxins that have been linked to ovarian cancer.

Horror of horrors!

In Boston, Massachusetts, researchers found evidence that talc-containing powders may be linked to ovarian cancer.

This isn’t the first time studies have pointed a finger at talc powders as other studies have also suggested that the application of talk powders which is magnesium silicate to the vaginal area may increase cancer risk.

The problem comes when particles of talc are introduced into the vagina; they migrate to the fallopian tube within a half hour.

Although current information is not extensive, there is evidence that if exposed to talc during the manufacturing of plumbing fixture, an increased risk of lung cancer does exist.

As to cosmetics which contain talc, no problem has yet been discovered. So far it appears that the greatest danger is applying talc and /or deodorizing powders to the vaginal area as the most risky form of use.

The longer the use the greater the risk. Using both talc and deodorizing powders actually increased the risk by 2.8 times.

Even though talc may be far off everyone’s cancer radar, there is enough evidence out there to suggest that its role is bigger than first suspected where cervical cancer is concerned.

Now I’m not suggesting that you stop using talc completely if it works for you. But what it does mean, in my opinion, is stop applying it to the vaginal area or any items that may come into contact with that area. This is especially vital when caring for that precious little bundle of love that you worry about growing into a healthy woman someday.

Toxic contamination comes in many guises and although talc may seem innocent, it definitely is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

That’s why cleansing is so powerful because once you have reached adulthood who knows what toxins are there accumulating and ready to wreak havoc in your body.
