Talc is no longer retailed in the UK due to court cases. All that is available now is Body Powder which is based on corn starch,

No, I don’t use talc since it can cause cancer.

erm…what 
I used to like talc back in the talc days when I wore boxers under my 501’s.
I still wear boxers under my 501’s!
Minus the imperial leather talc I hasten to add.

Yes, all my life. I know there was a lot of blaming with Johnsons Baby Powder over cancer but I never knew of anyone here being affected. I wouldn’t be without it, especially when I come out of the pool.

I think the Americans just love litigation, and now it’s over here big style.
I much prefer talc (or whatever it is these days) I think it’s much more healthy than bunging up your sweat glands with anti-perspirants.

Yes I do use it, mainly on toes to ensure they’re dry.

Where cancer is concerned, I consider talc a lot less harmful than 5G… 
I thought the problem was that talc was mined in areas where there was asbestos - it’s the asbestos that is not good for you

Well it’s on my shed roof Bruce, and it’s never done me any harm… 
Asbestos I mean, not talc…
When it is bonded in cement it’s fine as long as undamaged. My house has heaps as does every Australian house built before 1983, kitchen, bedrooms etc. Just don’t drill it.
BUT asbestos is deadly and causes terrible diseases like Mesothelioma. One exposure and 20 years later you’re gone (that’s why they employ old men to remove asbestos)

I lost a couple of friends to Mesothelioma Bruce, they worked on the railway dismantling old signal boxes that were built using a lot of asbestos during the steam age…
You have to jump through hoops here if you take asbestos to the recycling depot.
You have to double bag it in sturdy black plastic bags and then you have to take it inside the hopper yourself as the staff won’t even touch the bags…
