DariFree

[Guest guest]

Titanium is a metal. Titanium dioxide is an inert mineral. The e-mail

below states that someone would be more comfortable if DariFree was made

titanium-free. I would like to again reiterate that titanium and titanium

dioxide are two seperate issues.

Comparing titanium to titanium dioxide is similar to comparing carbon to

carbon dioxide. Carbon is a chemical element and the major component of

coal, petroleum, asphalt, and limestone. Carbon dioxide, however, consists

of one atom of carbon joined to two atoms of oxygen and stimulates breathing

while in blood. For this reason, carbon dioxide is added to oxygen or

ordinary air in artificial respiration and to the gases used in anesthesia.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding

this matter. I agree that both mercury and titanium are problems and that

is why we would not add those metals to our product.
