1. Your Body: Talcum Powder's Ties to Ovarian Cancer

   For more than 15 years, research has shown a link between ovarian cancer and talcum powder. The theory is that the pathway goes up into the uterus, into the fallopian tubes and onto the ovaries, potentially causing damage.
   
   But what we don't know is if it's the talc or a chemical in the powder that's causing the problem.
   
   When it comes to ovarian cancer, here are my tips:

   Don't use talcum powder in your groin area.

   Taking the pill, having tubal ligation or a full-term pregnancy can all reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

   The most common symptoms of ovarian cancer are bloating, pelvic pain and an increase in urination.
