Paint Chips and Vitamins….WTF?

Recently I have been talked into taking all kinds of Vitamins, CoQ10, Fish Oil, Etc. I think vitamins are important and I know I do not eat the best. So I went to the health food store and bought a bunch of vitamins my Dr. recommended. After taking them for a couple weeks, I started to wonder what was in the pills. I googled all the ingredients. One ingredient I noticed in almost every pill was Titanium Dioxide. After doing some research on Titanium Dioxide I threw out all the pills and bought a juicer. Juicing has been amazing, it has helped me get rockstar skinny! Below are some things I read about Titanium Dioxide and its link in cancer.  

Titanium dioxide has recently been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen ''possibly carcinogen to humans''. Titanium dioxide accounts for 70% of the total production volume of pigments worldwide. It is widely used to provide whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, plastics, papers, inks, foods, and toothpastes. It is also used in cosmetic and skin care products, and it is present in almost every sunblock, where it helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light.

Titanium Dioxide is in all paints and varnishes as well as paper and plastics: They process about 80% of the world's titanium dioxide consumption. Other pigment applications like printing inks, fibers, rubber, cosmetic products and foodstuffs account for another 8%. The rest is used in other applications, for instance the production of technical pure titanium, glass and glass ceramics, electrical ceramics, catalysts, electric conductors and chemical intermediates.It also is in most red colored candy.

Centrum vitamins are the No. 1 selling brand of vitamins in the U.S. It is made with synthetic vitamins. The ingredients label reads like a mish-mash of synthetic chemicals and low-cost ingredients with marginal absorption capability
