Long-term exposure to a common food additive may make the body more susceptible to infection, according to scientists at Binghamton University (UK).

Found in many processed foods, titanium dioxide can damage the cell structure in the gut. A weakened gut can allow harmful bacteria to enter the digestive system, preventing the absorption of important nutrients.

Scientists conducted research on a small intestinal cell model with titanium oxide nanoparticles for more than 4 hours. The results showed that cases with high exposure to this additive had negative effects.

These have negative effects on the activity of intestinal cells, the ability to absorb nutrients, causing the intestines to weaken. In addition, Titanium dioxide can also penetrate the digestive system through toothpaste and some types of chocolate.
