this is fucked up -- ovarian cancer study

so, i participated in a "lifestyle factors" study done at the brigham comparing women who've had ovarian cancer and those who haven't. study population was about 2000 women split up into, a bunch who had ovarian cancer, and a bunch who were randomly selected from the general population.

some of the study results are out.

there's apparently a strong correlation between women who have used talcum powder near their nether bits and women who've had ovarian cancer.

in all of my dark "i brought this disease on myself somehow" catholic guilt moments, TALCUM POWDER is really not the thing i expected to be a strong factor.
