In a 2022 study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, scientists wanted to examine the effects of titanium dioxide as a food additive on atherosclerosis in mice. (Atherosclerosis refers to a hardening of the arteries.) Researchers fed mice 40 mg/kg of the food additive every day for 4 months, and found that it not only altered gut microbiota but also led to a significantly increased atherosclerotic lesion area, especially in animals that consumed a high-choline western diet (HCD).

When choosing a wholesale supplier for anatase titanium dioxide, it's important to consider factors such as quality, consistency, and reliability. Look for suppliers who have a proven track record of delivering high-quality products on time and in full. It's also a good idea to inquire about the supplier's manufacturing processes and quality control measures to ensure that the titanium dioxide meets industry standards.
