Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have revealed that the nanoparticles found in sunscreen actually causes cancer in the Human body. It has been discovered that it is the titanium dioxide (commonly known as Ti02) nanaparticles damage the cells, and actually
causes genetic modification. This is the first study to show a break down in the single - and - double - strand DNA breaks. Along with chromosome damage, it was identified that this effect on the individual cell actually acts as a carcinogen.
The concept is that the nanoparticles found in sunscreen are so small they do not penetrate the skin. However, over time, the cells absorb Ti02 and process the waste to the organs. In turn, this creates a trigger for the human body which turns this into a cancer cell.
Robert Schiestl, professor of pathology, radiation oncology and environmental health sciences and senior author of the study explains, "The novel principle is that titanium by itself is chemically inert. However, when the particles become progressively smaller, their surface, in turn, becomes progressively bigger and in the interaction of this surface with the environment oxidative stress is induced," he said.
"This is the first comprehensive study of titanium dioxide nanoparticle-induced genotoxicity, possibly caused by a secondary mechanism associated with inflammation and/or oxidative stress. Given the growing use of these nanoparticles, these findings raise concern about potential health hazards associated with exposure."
The reason why this has not been revealed to the public - money.
Nanoparticle production is big business, with two million tons being produced per year and destined for products ranging from paint, sunscreen, vitamins, cosmetics, toothpaste, food colorants and hundreds of other consumer products.
The best way to prevent cancer - stay out of the sun in the middle of the day, and cover up with fabric. That is the best prevention. Sun is amazing for us, but only early and late in the days.
Thank you UCLA and Dr. Robert Schiestl for your studies in nanoparticle technology. May all citizens around the world listen to this study and protect themselves. Be Love, Be Peace, BE VEGAN; Save Our Home.
