OK, now, let’s get away from the silly emotional arguments and into some actual science.
Toxicity is calculated by what’s called LD-50 (Lethal dose for 50% of the population)
The LD50 for Titanium Dioxide is 10000mg per Kg. To take that to more understandable terms, it’s about 3 lbs of orally digested Titanium Dioxide for a 150 lb adult. Since FDA approves of 1% of less, you’d have to eat 300 lbs of Skittles to have a lethal reaction to Titanium Dioxide. I think you’d be dead after the first 20 lbs of Skittles anyway.
This is just some idiot tort lawyer trying to make money.
Thank you!
Exactomundo. And anyone who’s eating enough Skittles for that tiny trace of titanium oxide to have any effect . . . well, the titanium oxide is going to be the least of their problems.
Titanium dioxide is in many products. This lawsuit is just the camels nose in the tent for future lawsuits against everyone.
Maybe the company didn’t make enough democrat campaign donations!
That’s how they got ‘big tobacco’. They used to be HUGE Republican donors. If they were democrat donors I bet we would be hearing of the benefits of ‘cleansing your lungs with healthful smoke’. But making it ‘dangerous’ allowed them to tax them to $10 a pack.
Look at ‘Big Cola’... Despite ACTUALLY PUTTING CO2 INTO THEIR PRODUCT they still are not being pursued by the climate change warriors. Also huge liberal donors.
Is there any evidence of adverse effects at lower dosage, that's probably whats important. I'm not worried about it, but I'd have to see the data.
