What is the relationship between toothpaste and diabetes?

Scientists from the University of Texas in the United States have announced that titanium dioxide E171 located in toothpaste and cosmetics can cause type II diabetes. Scientists say in an article published in the journal Chemical Research in Tpxicology that this chemical is widely used in the manufacture of food and cosmetics, to make it white, and is considered harmless to humans.

Scientists conducted a study with the participation of 11 volunteers, who took samples of tissue pancreas, where they discovered titanium dioxide in 8 of them with type II diabetes, the rest being healthy. Scientists have concluded that titanium dioxide can be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Scientists therefore intend to test their hypothesis on a large number of people and then find other material for these preparations.
