The lead researcher for this study is an epidemiologist based in Virginia. According to the researcher, companies that develop, market, and sell talcum powder products target African-American females when considering how to brand and attract buyers for these items.<\/p>\n<p>What prompted the study was the doctor&#8217;s curiosity regarding whether these products actually lead to different types of cancer, including ovarian cancer. The researcher began the study as a self-proclaimed critic, believing that these claims lacked merit. After completing the study, however, Dr. Schildkraut now states that these talc products have a direct link to cancer.<\/p>\n<p>To conduct the study, the doctor assembled a research team that\u00a0performed interviews of almost 600 African-American women who\u00a0had ovarian cancer and 745 other women of color who had not been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Overall, some 63 percent of the participants who had been diagnosed with cancer and 53 percent of the participants who\u00a0had not been diagnosed with cancer were users of talcum powder products. Based on these figures and other conclusions from the study, the doctor determined that using talcum powder products increases a woman&#8217;s risk of developing ovarian or another type of cancer.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/african-american-women-use-talcum-powder-products-greater-risk-developing-ovarian-cancer\/#more-1184\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study published by the American Association for Cancer Research concluded that the risk of developing cancer as a\u00a0result of using talcum-based products is higher for African-American women compared to other African-American women who do not use these products.
