According to the researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, crystalline particles of titanium dioxide, the most common white pigment in everyday products ranging from paint to candies were found in pancreas specimens of people with Type 2 diabetes. Exposure to the white pigment is associated with diabetes.
Titanium dioxide (TiO ) is not a known constituent of any normal human tissue. Human body normally has plenty of salts and compounds of metallic elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, iron and magnesium, as well as lesser amounts of other metallic elements like cobalt or molybdenum but not of titanium.
The team examined 11 pancreas specimens, eight of which were from donors who had Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and three from donors who did not. Whereas the three non-diabetic pancreatic tissue specimens contained no detectable TiO crystals, the crystals were detected in all of the eight T2D pancreatic tissue specimens. The UT Austin researchers found more than 200 million TiO crystallites per gram of TiO particles in the specimens from T2D donors but not in the three specimens from non-diabetic donors.
Type 2 diabetes could be a chronic crystal-associated inflammatory disease of the pancreas, similar to chronic crystal-caused inflammatory diseases of the lung such as silicosis and asbestos. In the mid-20 century, titanium dioxide pigment replaced highly toxic lead-based pigments. It became the most commonly used white pigment in paints, foods, medications, toothpaste, cosmetics, plastics and paper.
The use of titanium dioxide increased the annual production, according to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes has increased during the past four decades. The dominant T2D-associated pancreatic particles consist of TiO crystals, which are used as a colorant in foods, medications and indoor wall paint, and they are transported to the pancreas in the bloodstream. haleplushearty.org
