Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Avoid titanium dioxide-containing foods, especially ultra-processed junk like white frostings, coffee creamers, and chewing gum.
- Check labels for “color added,” “anti-caking agent,” or “filler,” as these may indicate titanium dioxide content.
- Choose healthier alternatives like soy milk over dairy creamer and oatmeal over powdered donuts.
- Opt for non-toxic whitening agents in products, such as rice starch or rice flour, whenever possible.
Notable Quotes
“Since it is in no way necessary and tends to be used in ultra-processed junk food, we recommend trying to avoid it.”
Bottom Line
Avoid foods containing titanium dioxide, especially ultra-processed products, and opt for healthier alternatives and non-toxic whitening agents.
