Scientific study recommends exercising caution when using talcum powder

I've stumbled across a scientific study from 2007 conducted on samples of over the counter baby talcum powder from both Egypt and Hungary have resulted in some very frightening conclusions and recommendations.
 
Some very concerning statements and findings of the study are as follows:


"Talc is a native hydrous magnesium silicate sometimes containing a small portion of aluminum silicate; it can be used as a dry lubricant. It is similar in its chemical composition as asbestos, a well known cancer-causing agent. Talc is found in many baby powders, feminine powders and cosmetics. Talc's harmful effect on human tissues has been known for quite some time."

"It is highly recommended that the baby powders may be used with caution when it is necessary."
