When it was clear there was asbestos in their talc powder, they kept on selling it. It's curious that when it came out about their tainted talc, 4 years later the death by breast cancer dropped 44%.

Yeah, yeah everyone tells me there is no evidence the talc caused the breast cancer but has it really been thoroughly studied? It's about women's lives and we know the medical community is not all that concerned about old ladies dying. But my Mom had breast cancer 3 times. And not until she stopped using J&J powder did the cancer stop reapearing. Coincidence.....I don't know. What did cause breast cancers to decline?
