The reason talc is so bad is because wherever you find talc, you find asbestos. Asbestos is a cancer-causing agent, and it is impossible to separate asbestos from talc. Asbestos is extremely small, and when it is inhaled, it sinks deeply into the lungs where it causes mesothelioma, a fatal form of cancer. The problem is that companies such as Johnson and Johnson, as well as cosmetic companies, self-regulate if asbestos is in the talc they use in their products, and they use deceptive practices to prove that it's not when it really is. Don't believe me? I've been an RN for 25 years. You can also watch "Not So Pretty" Episode 1 on HBO to learn the truth. Never use anything that has talc in it. If you need to use something for your shoes, use cornstarch.
