$417 Million Awarded in Suit Tying Johnson’s Baby Powder to Cancer
The recent court decision makes me have double thought of Chinese herbs formula “Liu Yi San” which is composed of talc and gancao. They are used very often in reducing dampness. The herbs formula is very effective and usually is combined with other herbs. And it has been used for thousands of years. Usually it is used with very short period of time. However, my thought is to double check the herb manufacture to make sure the talc is pure. Current regulation in Chinese ministry has already put restriction on the talc for its purity.
Talc is a naturally occurring clay mineral composed of magnesium and silicon that is said mined in proximity to asbestos, a known carcinogen, and the Food and Drug Administration asks manufacturers to take steps to avoid contamination with asbestos.
