DESCRIPTION: People eating conventional diets may ingest a trillion microparticles of the food whitening additive titanium dioxide every day. What implication might this have for inflammation in the gut? Here's the link to the video I refer to on treating Crohn's: Dietary Treatment of Crohn's Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/achieving-remission-of-crohns-disease/).
 
For more on that list of concerning compounds they noted in animal products, see Estrogenic Cooked Meat Carcinogens (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/estrogenic-cooked-meat-carcinogens/) for the heterocyclic amines, Chicken, Eggs, and Inflammation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-eggs-and-inflammation/) for arachidonic acid, Meat Additives to Diminish Toxicity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-additives-to-diminish-toxicity/) for heme iron, Yersinia in Pork (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/yersinia-in-pork/) for the inflammation-linked bacteria, and Lowering Dietary Antibiotic Intake (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lowering-dietary-antibiotic-intake/) on some of the drugs fed to animals. I'd also add to that list The Inflammatory Meat Molecule Neu5Gc (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-inflammatory-meat-molecule-neu5gc/) and Dead Meat Bacteria Endotoxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dead-meat-bacteria-endotoxemia/).
 
Other videos on food additives include: When Nitrites Go Bad (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/when-nitrites-go-bad/), Is Potassium Sorbate Bad for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-potassium-sorbate-bad-for-you/), Is Sodium Benzoate Harmful? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-sodium-benzoate-harmful/), Are Artificial Colors Bad for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-artificial-colors-bad-for-you/), Artificial Coloring in Fish (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/artificial-coloring-in-fish/), and Aluminum in Vaccines vs. Food (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/aluminum-in-vaccines-vs-food/). I've got a new video on carrageenan coming soon.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/titanium-dioxide-inflammatory-bowel-disease/ and he'll try to answer it!
