hitox tio2

Titanium dioxide (TiO2), commonly known as titanium white, is a naturally occurring inorganic compound that has gained immense popularity due to its unique properties and wide range of applications. This versatile substance is not only used as a pigment but also finds its use in various industries such as cosmetics, paints, plastics, and even solar cells. In this article, we will explore the different aspects of titanium dioxide and how it has become an essential part of our daily lives.

For a mini-review published in the journal Particle and Fibre Technology in 2021, scientists wanted to evaluate whether Ti02 particles contributed to the development and/or exacerbation of irritable bowel disease, and whether they altered the four elements of intestinal barrier function: the intestinal microbiota, the immune system, the mucus layer, and the epithelium. The breakdown of these four elements can contribute to autoimmune, neurological, inflammatory, infectious, and metabolic diseases. Following their review, the researchers concluded: “Data indicate that TiO2 is able to alter the four compartments of IBF and to induce a low-grade intestinal inflammation associated or not with pre-neoplastic lesions.”
