Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Food dyes, synthesized originally from coal tar and now petroleum color], have long been controversial because of safety concerns. Many dyes have been banned because of their adverse effects on laboratory animals or inadequate testing.


CONCLUSIONS:

This review finds that all of the nine currently US-approved dyes raise health concerns of varying degrees.   
Red 3 causes cancer in animals, and there is evidence that several other dyes also are carcinogenic.

Three dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) have been found to be contaminated with benzidine or other carcinogens.

At least four dyes (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) cause hypersensitivity reactions. Numerous microbiological and rodent studies of Yellow 5 were positive for genotoxicity.

Toxicity tests on two dyes (Citrus Red 2 and Orange B) also suggest safety concerns, but Citrus Red 2 is used at low levels and only on some Florida oranges and Orange B has not been used for several years.

The inadequacy of much of the testing and the evidence for carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and hypersensitivity, coupled with the fact that dyes do not improve the safety or nutritional quality of foods, indicates that all of the currently used dyes should be removed from the food supply and replaced, if at all, by safer colorings.

It is recommended that regulatory authorities require better and independent toxicity testing, exercise greater caution regarding continued approval of these dyes, and in the future approve only well-tested, safe dyes.

Agelbert NOTE: Always, remember, the PETROLEUM industry is ONLY supplying a DEMAND from us piggies... As you can see above, they have "fastidiously" tested all their products to insure SAFE consumption for us. And anyway, if they've broken the law, don't worry. Eat your pretty colored food and consult our justice system for a "proper" remedy if an isolated incident occurs. You only need about $4,000,000 for a proof of human toxicity test that the FDA will back in court room. And , of course, if you ain't dade (the big cucks are wrongful death, don'tcha know?), don't expect to much of an "award" (Gee, I used to think it was compensation or a damages remedy. My how times change  :icon_mrgreen:).  It's always better to have your day (?)    in court than tar and feather fossil fuelers poisoning you and your children for profit! Lawyers ($$$,$$$.00  ) agree!  Gott mit uns! Have a nice day.
