I notice that whoever makes Aquafresh toothpaste has replaced the traditional content of titanium dioxide with alumina. Anyone any idea why that might be?

look up the prices of titanium and aluminium on the LME by the kg.....

you will then have your answer :-)

I think there has always been that large difference in costs. So why now?

Presumably they have worked out how to make alumina viable in toothpaste
