Okay, so Johnson & Johnson baby powder.

They go to the FDA.

And they say, we have to tell you something we're a little concerned about.

We have found some cancer-causing asbestos in our baby powder, and we're acknowledging it, and we want to know what to do.

And the FDA says, well, we're going to study how much cancer-causing asbestos is okay in baby powder.

So they study that for 44 years.

And they never consider maybe zero.

I mean, I had babies.

I'd like zero cancer-causing asbestos in the baby powder.

They never thought about zero.

But they study it for 44 years because time flies when you're covering up something.

And the FDA finally ruled on it in –

The year of 2024, about 10 months ago, after 52 years.

They knew it for 52, I don't want to say effing, but I won't swear, 52 years.

And Johnson & Johnson, by the way, still claims our baby powder doesn't cause cancer, which is the worst advertising slogan in the history of the world.

Yeah, but they were able to solve the problem now because there's still Johnson & Johnson baby powder.

It's just not made with talc.

And they knew this, you know, 52 years ago.

And companies like Johnson & Johnson.

I think it's cornstarch and might be other stuff.
