#2) Artificial Food Coloring - You're eating petroleum-based industrial chemicals!
by S.D. Wells
Say these three words quickly three times, then never forget you did: petroleum, antifreeze and ammonia. When you eat aluminum lake food coloring, you're consuming dangerous amounts of aluminum and harmful synthetic PETROCHEMICALS - carcinogens which cause a long list of adverse reactions. They are even in children's medicine!
Aluminum poisoning can lead to short- and long-term central nervous system (CNS) damage, such as memory impairments, autism, epilepsy, mental retardation and dementia.
Research shows that just 4 ppm of aluminum can cause the blood to coagulate. This can cause Alzheimer's disease and can be associated with the development of bone disorders, including stress fractures.
- Blue #1: Research shows it causes kidney tumors in mice.
- Blue #2: Research shows even higher incidence of tumors, specifically gliomas in male rates (a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine).
- Red #2: Toxic to rodents, even at modest levels, and causes tumors of the bladder.
- Red #3: FDA recognized it in 1990 as a cause of thyroid cancer in animals. It was banned in cosmetics, but still allowed in food and medicine.
- Red #40: Most popular dye of all. Debilitates the immune system in mice. Allergic reactions are common.
- Green #3: Causes bladder and testes tumors.
- Yellow #5: Affects behavior and induces severe hypersensitivity reactions.
- Yellow #6: Causes adrenal tumors in animals.
