Is Titanium Dioxide Harmful

I can’t believe this preservative is still allowed on store shelves!!! I am glad I refused to buy products with this additive in it, but it sure is ubiquitous. I notice that the vegan cheese by Daiya has titanium dioxide in it, and I’m concerned about how that might act within the body or react with other foods.

Answer:

Great question! According to the World Health Organization’s IARC, there do not appear to be any problems associated with the consumption of titanium dioxide as a food additive. That said, there are a bunch of new studies out, which I’m currently reviewing, and will include a video on titanium dioxide in my 2013 batch.
