I read something once, somewhere, about OOOH BAD TALCUM POWDER so I quit using that and started using cornstarch powder. Then I noticed baby powder always shrieks that it's TALCUM-FREE! So if it's not good enough for a baby's butt, then I'm not putting it near my snatch.

Or something. Oh, here it is: http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/cosmetics/talc.htm

I think I was more worried about breathing the stuff than putting it in my pants at the time.

Here's the best part:

... today, cosmetic grade talc remains non-regulated by the federal government. This inaction ignores a 1993 National Toxicology Program report which found that cosmetic grade talc, without any asbestos-like fibers, caused tumors in animal subjects.
