Is it true that using body talc on your private part will give you cancer?

Yes, I've actually read that somewhere in a cancer article.  The talc could cause irritation up there and the irritation could go further into developing cancer cells. Please see this:\nhttp://health.ivillage.com/cancer/capreven/0,,4m51,00.html

No, but you will probably get an infection around the bit that's left (like when you get a sliver under your skin)

No-one can say for sure, but what we *can* say for sure is that plenty of people get skin cancer in places on their bodies that are never exposed to the sun.  So, you could spend your whole life in a cupboard and *still* end up with skin cancer, without even having years of pleasure from sun-worshipping to offset it.  Also some research suggests that sun exposure actually inhibits cancer, since sunlight produces vitamin D, and this is thought to have a preventative effect on certain cancers.\n\nMy advice is this:  Never use sun lotion, it causes skin cancer.  My reasoning is that if there is anything about sunlight that causes cancer, it's likely to be the length of time you are exposed to it.  Using sun lotion gives people a false sense of security about being out in the sun (because it inhibits the natural effect of exposure, i.e. tanning), with the result that they spend much more time exposed to the sun than they would otherwise.  I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that there is a strong correlation between the greatly increased use of sun lotion in recent decades and the increase in skin cancer seen in some places.  Hence my conclusion is that sun lotion causes cancer.\n\nSo, the natural and sensible alternative is to use your body's own sun protection - tanning - to guide you in your sun exposure.  Start by short periods of exposure - just a few minutes - and see how your skin reacts.  If you are perfectly comfortable and get a shade of tan, that's about right.  If you go red, or even worse start to peel, you know you've overdone it.  Gradually work up to the protection of a deep natural tan.  You will get a good safe tan with much less exposure than if you used lotion.\n\nOne final point:  By far the most important issue with skin cancer is early detection, so if you see anything that concerns you, get it checked out straight away.

I highly doubt it. Asbestos was mostly used in buildings to prevent severe damage in case of a fire. It worked rather well, but gave everyone cancer. I dunno about you but I would rather my house burned down than get cancer.

I think it might depend on what type of cancer it is. Breast cancer and prostrate cancer can run in the family. Not sure skin cancer is that way, though, or lung cancer. Your chances also go up depending on your lifestyle, like if you smoke or overweight. Don't take my word on it though, check with your physician, he/she should be able to give you a fairly good idea of your risk, and probably be able to tell you ways to lower your risk.

Of course it is dangerous. You will get bruises, blood vessel breakage, etc. The testicles are for producing healthy sperm. Broken blood vessels or scarring will cause a change in the temperature in the testicles, and you may never have children.

It depends on the kind of asbestos.  Some kinds the risk is so low that it is worse to remove it, because of the added risk of stirring it up.  I'm assuming you mean mesothelioma, which afflicts about 2-3,000 new people each year in the US (out of all third of a billion of us!), so the actual risk is very, very low.  It also tends to be older folks.  Of course, none of that helps if it's you, but you should keep the risk in perspective, and remember to wear a seatbelt and not smoke before you worry about spending mega-bucks removing asbestos or buying a new home to get away from it.\n\nHere's some info on prevention:

No- it is not.  Other reasons why it may be used include benign fatty tumors, abnormal enlargement of the male breasts, problems with metabolism of fat in the body , and excessive sweating in the armpit area.

Not always gives cancer, but it has metals in it, but there are alternates such as Bert's Bee's type deoterent.\nIt does'nt contain any metals although it may be a little more expensive.\nI dont know what kind of cancer it could cause, but remember, it goes in your bloodstream, so it could cause any kind.\nIt's best to avoid all metals in your body.\nNo idea what the chances are.

If you keep it clean, safe and private yes.  Done in public or with others in unclean ways it can be very unhealthy.\n\nOf course like anything good too much of it can become  not so good for you. Find balance.

NO,  \nBUT WAIT IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF CANCER !!!

There's sites that have it, but I wouldn't recommend it. Although it may be a lot less expensive than going to a professional....you can also get a skin disease, etc...there's info about that too....and it's also contagious at physical contact. I'm not making this up...do research about it....

No... not at all... it has nothing to do with TB or cancer\n\nUnderarm lumps mostly develop in the armpit of that side of your body where there is any painful wound or boil etc.

Well your skin is obviously the most likely to get cancer as it is the largest component of the body and is constantly exposed to UV radiation.
