Scientists warn about sunscreen ingredient in frozen pizzas and candies

Reported 7 months ago

Scientists have raised concerns over the presence of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), a common sunscreen ingredient, in various foods like frozen pizzas and candies. Despite being considered safe in small quantities, TiO2 has nanoparticles that could potentially harm internal organs and bacterial balance in the gut. Studies have shown damage to the liver, immune system, and DNA due to TiO2 consumption, raising worries about long-term health effects, especially in children. While some advocate for a ban on TiO2, others argue that regulatory approval and safety measures ensure its responsible use as a food additive.
