Are they absolutely certain that if accidentally ingested (or ingested in miniscule amounts), that this won't interact with endothelial surfaces or have other undesired affects?

The mechanism scares me. I'd be worried about vascular health, cancer, etc. Probably nothing to worry about, but it's a very novel approach and it's got my mind wondering.

It contains titanium dioxide, for which there are plans to ban it across EU. Though, there isn't anything definitive about it like "you need such and such exposure for so many years to increase your risk of getting cancer by X%".
