What could this mean for dental or orthopedic titanium implants? From my understanding these also corrode at a small rate and release titanium ions into the body (nothing is apparently perfectly inert). I assume titanium ions oxidize and will result in titanium dioxide particles deposited across the body. So far, it has been said to be non toxic, but if research is coming out about toxic effects from food consumption route, could this have implications for people living with implants long term?
Isn't this the compound that's in basically all white paint? Hope this is not leaded paint all over again.
If only some government agency would ban things like this.
Oh well, we can dream.
