So it seems that science has finally caught up with parental instincts. As a parent, whose children rarely have food coloring (if I can help it), observing the behavior of their children after they consume on a stick with a color as the prime ingredient unwittingly tells me that they are not healthy.
If you are a parent whose child is a banana after eating something that is dye in it, then you are likely to identify with the report of the findings of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. CSPI found in studies of food dye, which causes hyperactivity in children, but more alarming is that due to allergies and cancer.
Synthetic food dyes have been incorporated into food for some time, and in particular in the food of children, and bright colors tend to attract children, who equate color with the taste. More colorful, she looks more sweet and delicious it should be, as the brain.
Many parents tend to stay away from artificial sources of colored candies, but they still seem to pop up in almost every processed food products intended for children, including breakfast cereals, yoghurts, biscuits, juice. Here are the latest data to determine that a potentially carcinogenic dye.
Nearly seven million kilograms of artificial colorants included in food every year, including Blue 1, Blue 2, 3, Green, Red 40, Yellow, 6, 40 Red, yellow 5, 6, and yellow. Red 3 is the worst of all, known carcinogens, which is still included in some popular products supermarket shelves.
Hopefully with this new report, consumers will be better informed and able to make the right choice for the health of their families.
