This Tajin story is something you'll never forget.
00:03
What do you mean we all know Tajin,
00:05
right? It's legendary.
00:07
Yeah. Nothing slaps more than Michela during summer.
00:11
You know, like just ice cold with a little Tajin Rim
00:16
Oh, yummy.
00:17
Well, one tiktoker Rachel Drip was enjoying a drink with Tajin
00:21
and she actually found one ingredient that pulled it down a rabbit
00:25
hole. Oh, no.
00:26
So yeah, while researching,
00:27
she worried that when she saw it contain silicone dioxide against scary
00:31
word or silica that she might be drinking bits of plastic.
00:35
No, not microplastics,
00:37
crashing the party but don't ruin sister.
00:42
Just wait. So this led her to explore the ingredients
00:45
further, right? She discovered a nice surprise for all Tajin
00:49
lovers. So actually it turns out that silicone dioxide is a
00:54
very common ingredient and it is naturally occurring and used as an
00:57
anti caking agent in spices to prevent clumping.
01:00
But wait, it gets better.
01:02
A study published in 2008 found that boosting silicon dioxide intake could
01:07
contribute to reduce the risk of dementia.
01:11
More for real. Specifically,
01:13
an additional 10 mg of silica per day was associated with the
01:16
lower chances of developing the disease.
01:18
What was that last factor too?
01:21
So it was 10 mg of silica per day that was associated
01:25
with lowering the chances of developing the disease.
01:27
So this is good.
01:29
This is you scared me?
01:33
Well, if you guys see me asking for extra Tajin on
01:36
my margarita, I'm fighting dementia the fuck out of my mentions
01:41
Oh yeah.
