#img alt = "Substances of the University of Texas in the United States have found that titanium dioxide E171 contained in toothpastes and cosmetics, can cause diabetes of the second type.

It is noted that this chemical is largely used in the food industry and cosmetology for its ability to give subjects a white color and is considered harmless to humans.

About the properties of E171 became known in the mid-twentieth century when it replaced harmful lead-based dyes and in the 1970s, its production has spread.Since, according to researchers, the incidence of type II diabetes has increased four times, and they found that this chemical could be associated with diabetes.

To confirm their suspicions, the researchers have a study of a group of 11 volunteers who took samples of pancreatic tissue. In the tests were detected titanium dioxide and all had diabetes of the second type and the other three were healthy and in their analyzes of the chemical contained.

Thus, the researchers concluded that titanium dioxide may be one of the substances that can cause diabetes of the second type. Now scientists want to check the results of their research on large groups of people.

Type II diabetes is a metabolic disease that develops as a result of reduced tissue sensitivity to the action of insulin. Currently, more than 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, and 90% of them have type II diabetes.
