Interesting study: Possible link found between diabetes and titanium dioxide

I found this article this morning. It caught my eye because I’ve been looking for sunscreen and have been researching sunscreen ingredients.

unless the sunscreen filters UVA then it is more harmful than of value. and you need the vitamin D so forget the screen embrace the sun and get out when you have to much. stopping the burn (to much indicator) is harmful if you are still out getting the UVA

After skimming the study, it seems more probable to me that diabetic pancreases might be more likely to absorb titanium dioxide, rather than the crystal causing the disease. After all, there are plenty of diabetics who never use sunscreen.

Moreover, I also suspect that if they looked at a lot more pancreases, they might have seen different results.

My take was that titanium dioxide is also found more and more in food: candy, gum, creamer, frosting, yogurt, bread…
A lot of those things are carbs…it makes sense that it would accumulate in some dietetics.

It’s also heavy in toothpaste, soaps and shampoos. :roll_eyes:
