I will now describe some typical methods of practicing my invention, whereby lithopone of any desired grade may be produced. One of the known grades of lithopone as prepared and mixed for the trade contains sev- 6o enteen per cent. of zinc sullid. To produce this grade and a by-product of hydrosulfid of sodium, for example, I proceed as follows: The usual precautions, it will be understood, mustbe taken in preparing or for insuring the purity of the several ingredients used; but these preliminaries do not require description here. Separate aqueous solutions of the following ingredients in the proportions named are prepared: zinc sulfate, one x hundred and sixty-one pounds; barium sulfid, three hundred and thirty-eight pounds, and sodium bisulfate one hundred and twenty pounds. These ingredients, it will be recognized, are readily soluble in water. The separate solutions are then mixed and the following chemical reaction at once takes place:

In a study published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology in 2016, researchers investigated whether titanium dioxide exposure led to an increase in colorectal tumor creation in mice by using a colitis associated cancer model. By measuring tumor progression markers, the researchers found that mice given titanium dioxide experienced enhanced tumor formation in the distal colon.  There was also a decrease of cells that act as a protective barrier in the colon. The researchers wrote: “These results suggest that E171 could worsen pre-existent intestinal diseases.”
