The referenced submission on sticky rice mentioned that some oriental stores
may sell rice packed with some amount of talc that should be rinsed away from
the rice.  It may interest people that there was once an article claiming
that talc, as well as asbestos, was probably carcinogenic if inhaled or 
ingested...  Perhaps this really belongs in another newsgroup, but since talc
was mentioned in this group, I'll post it here.  Anyone on the net know more
about supposed evidence for the carcinogenicity of talc? -- vax135!ariel!norm
