Keep in mind the normal “correlation does not equal causation” stuff, but this is a completely optional coloring agent.

I hope there’s science behind this claim, like cytotoxic properties of TIO2.

>>”The increased use of titanium dioxide over the last five decades could be a factor in the Type 2 diabetes epidemic,”

Could be...but as a person with Type 2 diabetes, I know that it is almost entirely lifestyle and food choices: work, stress, eating on the run, comfort foods to make the whole day as a cog in the Great Machine seem like it was worth it, etc.

Sample size of 11. Hilarious.

I think the rapid rise is from testing of more people and manipulation of the base numbers.

Diet is such a factor...perhaps the old meat and potato meals are more in keeping with what we SHOULD be eating.

At the same time, it appears to be hereditary.

This might be worth a real study, but the sample base was far too narrow to mean much. The age of the person providing the samples could be a major factor in why some have the crystals and some do not.

The simplest implication of their results is not that titanium oxide is causing diabetes, but that it is a common additive in high-sugar industrial food products.

Don’t snort the white paint!

Or, more seriously, if ceiling paint is found to be somewhat hazardous, we are all in trouble.

The question not being asked here is why are heavy metal compounds going in our food? That doesn’t seem healthy.
