Nano Titanium causing DNA damage

Research performed in the States at Brook University by Miriam Rafailovich has provided clear evidence that titanium nano particles catalyse DNA damage. The researchers found also the solution to the problem by coating the nano Titanium with a mixture of antioxidants that would absorb the photoelectron generated by Titanium, therefore preventing the formation of free radicals.
For the consumers it is going to be impossible to spot the presence of nano Titanium from the ingredients list as the normal and the nano versions share the same INCI name.
