In 2017, French researchers from the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRAE) were among the first to examine the effects of E171 nanoparticles on the body. They fed rats a dose of 10mg of E171 per kilogram of body weight per day, which was similar to human exposure in food. The research, which was published in Scientific Reports, showed that E171 was able to traverse the intestinal barrier, pass into the bloodstream, and reach other areas of the body in rats. Researchers also found a link between immune system disorders and the absorption of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
In summary, the Food Directorate's position is that there is no conclusive scientific evidence that the food additive TiO2 is a concern for human health. This is based on a review of the available scientific data relevant to food uses of TiO2. However, we will continue to monitor the emerging science on the safety of TiO2 as a food additive and may revisit our position if new scientific information becomes available.
In addition to pigments and sunscreens, titanium dioxide is also used in the production of paper, food products, and pharmaceuticals. In the paper industry, titanium dioxide is added to paper coatings to improve brightness, smoothness, and printability. In the food industry, titanium dioxide is used as a whitening agent in products such as candies, chewing gum, and icing. In the pharmaceutical industry, titanium dioxide is used as a coloring agent in tablets and capsules.

Great sheets are determined by the quality of the fabric, the weave and the thread count in cotton or GSM in linen or Momme in silk. A high measurement won’t make up for poor quality fabric but it can go a long way to contributing to fantastic bedding.
150cm wide fabric. Whether it's crafting draperies that elegantly cascade down large windows or upholstering a spacious sofa, the 150cm fabric provides the necessary expanse to cover large surfaces with ease. Its width also makes it suitable for creating statement wall hangings or tapestries, adding a touch of sophistication to any living space.
First of all, because linen’s flax fibers are slightly longer than those of cotton and wrapped a little tighter, linen sheets are stronger which means they will last much longer. If softness is a factor for you, you may want to consider cotton, though. Flax fibers are much rougher than cotton resulting in slightly crisper fabric. But the great thing about linen is that it gets softer after each wash, so essentially it gets better with time.
Bed Sheet: A bed sheet is the foundation of your bedding ensemble. This is the fabric layer that lies directly on your mattress, coming in close contact with your skin. You'll find two primary types of bed sheets: the fitted sheet, which snugly covers the mattress with its elastic edges, and the flat sheet, which rests atop the fitted sheet.
The greatest grade (and most costly) is 100 percent Egyptian cotton, distinguished by its extra-long staple fibers, resulting in sumptuously soft yet incredibly long-lasting sheets.
