Interesting. I wonder if this also applies to titanium dioxide, which is commonly found in sunscreens.
I think the article mentioned sunscreens, and also uses the terms titanium dioxide and titanium oxide. Not sure weather they are interchangeable or different. Searching wiki I find they don't have a listing for titanium oxide so my guess they are referencing or mean titanium dioxide, when they say titanium oxide.Interesting. I wonder if this also applies to titanium dioxide, which is commonly found in sunscreens.
My understanding is that the nanoparticles used in sunscreen are small enough to penetrate cells.Do you often ingest sunscreen?
Depends how many cocktails you have on the beach?My understanding is that the nanoparticles used in sunscreen are small enough to penetrate cells. But no, other than the sunscreen on my lips, I'm not likely to ingest much titanium dioxide.
Just avoid eating a bucket load of gum and boiled sweets is the message I think. Classic unsubstantiated scaremongering on the scientists part. Probably to get their name on a paper. Waste of research money imo.
I am dubious of a lot of the articles that get posted in these science journals even one's I post. But they did show physiological changes in cell culture models. I don't think I would go as far as to say scaremonger unless their is a lot of bad peer review or something like that. Without a lot more research I think it's safe to say it's something most don't need to worry about.
Me with all my gi issues I think I'm going to try to avoid it in the future anyways.
