Nanotech Effects on The Brain & Nervous System ~ Pt 4
The mass produced nanoparticles and SOME of their toxic effects:
Titanium Dioxide: whitener and brightener
used in: food (milk, chocolate, confectionary, cake icing), cosmetics, makeup, toothpastes & sunblock
=> causes structural damage to neurons
=> causes tissue damage
=> depletes sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc in the brain
=> impaires spatial recognition
=> alters genes (increases pro-inflammatory & pro-tumour genes)Silicon Dioxide: anti-caking agent
used in: medications, supplements, food (milk, confectionary, creamer), cosmetics & makeup
=> causes oxidative stress
=> causes cell death in brain cells
=> depletes levels of dopamine in the brain (our motivation and reward hormone)
=> causes DNA damage
=> depletes tyrosine (amino acid responsible for thyroid regulation)
If you are interested, I'll continue the series with aluminum hydroxide and zinc oxide.
