Toothpaste chemical could cause type 2 diabetes,
Titanium dioxide which is a common chemical that is used to add pigment to items such as toothpaste, plastic, paper, paint, pills, food and suncream. makeup – in which it is used to brighten the skin.

The chemical is not thought to naturally occur inside the human body, so traces of it come from particles from outside.



Titanium dioxide could be found in bloodstream if they are breathed in or digested in food or drink.

The percentage of the world's population with type 2 diabetes nearly doubled from 4.7 per cent in 1980 to 8.5 per cent in 2014, according to the World Health Organization.

Now, the scientists in Austin, Texas, say there are crystallized particles of the chemical in the pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes, but not in those without the condition.
They suggest the particles may damage the pancreas by provoking an immune response from white blood cells, causing inflammation and which kills healthy cells in the organ.

Type 2 Diabetes
When the body is unable to produce insulin
or not producing large amount of insulin
increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, blindness and kidney failure.
Factors such as lack of exercise and obesity are all known to contribute to diabetes

How The research was carried out
The research was led by Dr Adam Heller, a diabetes expert and part of a team which invented the first ever painless blood-glucose testing system – a device which scans the body instead of drawing blood.
To discover this link researchers studied pancreas specimens from 11 people to look for evidence of titanium dioxide.

Eight of the pancreas were from people who had type 2 diabetes and three were from those who did not.
All eight of the diabetic pancreas contained crystallised particles of titanium dioxide, but none of the non-diabetic ones did.
