4am thoughts: Is talcum powder cancerous?

I get random thoughts at all sorts of hours. But I was having one of those "fall asleep and wake up and shower at 4am" moments and using some talc made me think as the fine dust dissipated around me. "Shit! Is this stuff cancerous? I use this on a daily basis!"??


Well, I have no idea. A few Google searches later and well, it's still not clear. Will someone get this right and clear this up??

Yes it will
