See book keywords and concepts |  According to some research, tartrazine is also suspected as a possible cause of cancer. Its use is prohibited in Norway and Finland and restricted in Sweden. We often make the mistake of thinking that if a food is Tartrazine-free it is safe to consume, regardless of what other additives it may contain. So even if the package proclaims it is tartrazine-free, check what other ingredients it may contain, as many of the other approved colorants can also be harmful. | | Tartrazine is a bright yellow coal tar dye, commonly found in many sweets with colors ranging from cream to yellow to orange to green. tartrazine is generally recognized to be responsible for a wide range of allergic and intolerant symptoms, including hyperactivity in children, asthma, migraine headaches, and skin rashes. According to some research, tartrazine is also suspected as a possible cause of cancer. Its use is prohibited in Norway and Finland and restricted in Sweden. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Tartrazine (yellow dye #5) is believed to be a trigger for thousands of people.
A rotation diet (see page 210) is a good way to identify any food triggers, but it is a tad labor intensive. Even easier is the shotgun approach called an elimination diet, whereby you simply get rid of all the dietary "usual suspects" that cause most of the problems in most other people with asthma—then see whether there's an improvement (there almost always is). |

See book keywords and concepts |  In addition, tartrazine (Yellow Dye #5), a common food additive, is thought to trigger asthma in as many as 100,000 Americans. Ironically, before this association was discovered, some popular anti-asthma medications had been colored with tartrazine. Although this chemical is no longer used in asthma drugs, it is still added to many other prescription medications and processed foods.

See book keywords and concepts |  Known as tartrazine, or FD&C yellow no. 5, yellow dye is present in thousands of other foods and drugs and has been linked in research studies to higher rates of asthma and allergic reactions. There is also evidence it may trigger lupus symptoms in some patients.
Today, only 10 percent of all American adults consume enough healthy foods for their diet to qualify as "good," according to researchers at the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. When you look at recent studies on what Americans do get in their diet, it is pretty grim: U.S. |

See book keywords and concepts | | But tartrazine toxicity provides a good model for what these chemicals can do. tartrazine is used in soft drinks and is one of the additives most often implicated in food intolerance studies. This occurs mostly in subjects also sensitive to aspirin. Between 10 percent and 40 percent of aspirin-sensitive patients react also to this dye with asthma, urticaria, rhinitis, and hyperactivity. In one study of 76 children diagnosed as hyperactive, the food color tartrazine combined with the food preservative benzoate caused abnormal reactions in 79 percent of the group. |

• Carmoisine (E122 or Red 3), a red dye, is used in jellies, sweets, blancmanges, marzipan and cheesecake mixes. You'll also find it in novelty cakes.
• Ponceau 4R (El24 or Red 7), also red, is used in European tinned fruit, jellies and salamis. Smarties and Simpson's cakes also contain it. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In addition, tartrazine, as well as benzoate and aspirin, increases the production of a compound that increases the number of mast cells in the body. Mast cells are involved in producing histamine and other allergic compounds. A person with more mast cells in the body will typically be more prone to allergies. For example, examination of patients with hives shows that more than 95 percent have an increase in mast cells.
In studies using provocation tests to determine sensitivity to tartrazine and other food additives in patients with hives, results have ranged from 5 to 46 percent. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They gave two groups of children identical-looking and identical-tasting drinks, except that one contained tartrazine. They measured the children's mineral levels before and after they consumed the drink. Those who had the drink containing tartrazine became hyperactive and exhibited a decrease in their blood levels of zinc and an increase in the amount of zinc excreted in the urine. What the researchers had found was that tartrazine robbed the children of zinc, a deficiency of which is associated with increased risk of behavioral and immune system problems. |
Dr Ron Roberts
See book keywords and concepts |  One of the most common additives to cause asthmatic reactions is the yellow dye used as a food colouring, tartrazine. It is identified on labels as additive no. 102. Other troublesome additives are sodium metabisulphite and potassium metabisulphite, nos 223 and 224 respectively, which are preservatives used in making sausages, dried fruit such as raisins and currants, some fruit yoghurts, jams and essences.
If you suspect an additive is responsible for the asthma, you will have to become adept at reading labels before you buy. | | TARTR AZ1NE
Most children (and many adults) like to eat and drink foods containing the common additive tartrazine. It turns up everywhere—in syrups, toppings, sauces, soft drinks, cordials, frozen sweets, confectionery, packet snacks, jellies, biscuits, puddings and is also used to colour medicines yellow, green or orange!
Identifying Additives
Food companies sometimes seem to the outsider to be playing God with our health and our lives because of their use of additives, preservatives and artificial colourings. |
Healing Children's Attention & Behavior DisordersDr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C)
See book keywords and concepts | | In one study of 76 children diagnosed as hyperactive, the food color tartrazine combined with the food preservative benzoate caused abnormal reactions in 79 percent of the group. tartrazine increased loss of zinc by increasing excretion in urine and decreased the amount in the blood and saliva with a corresponding deterioration in behavior. | | The xenobiotic or chemicals foreign to the body implicated include tar-trazine, curcumin, sunset yellow, and many others. But tartrazine toxicity provides a good model for what these chemicals can do. tartrazine is used in soft drinks and is one of the additives most often implicated in food intolerance studies. This occurs mostly in subjects also sensitive to aspirin. Between 10 percent and 40 percent of aspirin-sensitive patients react also to this dye with asthma, urticaria, rhinitis, and hyperactivity. |

Sulfites are another class of chemicals that can trigger asthma in susceptible individuals. Sulfites are found in many wines and other alcoholic beverages and are often used as a preservative at restaurant salad bars. Sulfites may also be present in a wide range of other foods, particularly processed foods. |
The Editors of FC&A
See book keywords and concepts | | Aspirin and tartrazine, a dye found in some yellow food-coloring, can also be asthma triggers.
Keep a diet diary. If you think your asthma attacks may be triggered by food, start keeping a diet diary. Write down what and when you eat, and see if you find a link to your attacks. Once you suspect a certain food, eliminate it from your diet for five to 14 days, and then reintroduce it to see if it causes a problem.
Once you know a certain food triggers your asthma, the best thing to do is avoid it. But keep in mind the nutrition you get from that food. |

• Thiamine hydrochloride, an ingredient in some cough medicines.
Other hives-provoking substances are being identified with increasing frequency. Meat, dairy, and poultry products, especially in frozen or fast foods, are increasingly being associated with hives, probably because many farmers and ranchers routinely give their livestock antibiotics in an effort to prevent disease or infection. These antibiotics are not affected by subsequent freezing, processing, or cooking. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Tartrazine is found in most processed foods and can even be found in vitamin preparations and anti-asthma prescription drugs (e.g., theophylline). And it is estimated that 2 to 3 milligrams of sulfites are consumed each day by the average U.S. citizen, while an additional 5 to 10 milligrams are ingested by wine and beer drinkers. |

What the researchers had found was that tartrazine robbed the children of zinc, a deficiency of which is associated with increased risk of behavioral and immune system problems.
This is only one of hundreds of food chemicals to be tested in this way and, of course, it raises the question as to what safety criteria a chemical must meet before being allowed to enter the food chain. |
Antoinette Saville and Antony J. Haynes
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, the consumption of 'yellow sunset' coloring and tartrazine can have marked effects on some susceptible children's behavior, and therefore their avoidance can result in a total lack of such symptoms.
Feingold believed that the naturally-occurring chemicals in foods called salicylates, which are found in a wide array of foods, are also implicated in causing behavioral changes. However, it would appear that salicylates are not the lone culprit, because there are other offending agents at work, including solvent chemicals, that contribute to the children's symptoms. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Eliminating tartrazine from the diet and increasing vitamin B6 intake through diet or supplementation may help CTS. Foods rich in vitamin B6 include brewer's yeast, sunflower seeds, soybeans, walnuts, lentils and other legumes, brown rice, and bananas.
During flare-ups, fresh pineapple juice, along with fresh ginger, may help due to their anti-inflammatory activity.
Other Recommendations
Curcumin is perhaps nature's most potent antiinflammatory agent. Curcumin is derived from turmeric and may be useful in decreasing inflammation of the median nerve, particularly when combined with bromelain. | | Diets eliminating tartrazine as well as other food additives in sensitive individuals have, in many cases, been shown
THE FEINGOLD HYPOTHESIS
The hypothesis that food additives can cause hyperactivity in children stemmed from the research of Benjamin Feingold, m.d., and is commonly referred to as the "Feingold hypothesis." According to Feingold, many hyperactive children, perhaps 40 to 50 percent, are sensitive to artificial food colors, flavors, and preservatives as well as to naturally occurring salicylates and phenolic compounds. |
