Friday Favorites: Talcum Powder and Fibroids
Channel: NutritionFacts.org
Date: 2022-06-24

What role does diet and baby powder play in the development of fibroids and ovarian cancer?

When I started this video, I profiled the effects of diet and supplements on fibroid tumors, but then I got dragged off on that horrifying ovarian cancer tangent—and I’m so glad I did. What a story! No wonder corporations are working hard to pass tort reform to limit the amount of damages they have to pay for their negligence or malfeasance. If you remember, it was a series of landmark court cases that also dragged damning internal tobacco industry communications into the light. For a bit on that story, see:
