Recent peer-reviewed research indicates that titanium dioxide in nanoparticle form may have more harmful effects than previously believed. This substance disrupts the endocrine system and can influence insulin response and blood sugar regulation, resulting in potential health risks such as diabetes and obesity. The study underscores the dangers of unregulated nanoparticles widely found in processed foods. With over 11,000 U.S. products containing titanium dioxide, including popular snacks, the findings raise serious concerns regarding consumer safety, drawing attention to the need for more stringent regulation despite the FDA's current stance on its safety.
The study found that titanium dioxide in nanoparticle form disrupts the endocrine system, potentially leading to diabetes and obesity, raising concerns about consumer safety.
Ultra-processed foods are known to affect food hormones, and understanding the role of titanium dioxide nanoparticles may help explain these disruptions.
With titanium dioxide nanoparticles present in approximately 11,000 products, public awareness and regulatory oversight become more critical to protect consumers from hidden risks.
The EU banned titanium dioxide for food use in 2022, highlighting its potential neurotoxic and immunotoxic effects, and raising questions about FDA's safety assurances.
