Artificial colors reveal you eat “garbage food” |
|
Fast and industrially processed food during the production process loses its color, taste and smell.
That is why prior to final packaging and serving the manufacturers add artificial colors, flavors and scent that will improve the appearance of a dull mixture.
What colors do you need to pay attention to?
Caramel
Caramel color that is used in many soft drinks, ice cream, sweets and ready-made sauces for meat has little to do with caramel.
Rather than being made of melted sugar, the caramel color is synthetically produced through a chemical reaction of sugar, ammonia and sulphite.
This process results in chemicals 2-methyimidazolel and 4-methyimidazolel, which are associated with thyroid problems, liver and lung cancer and leukemia.
There are four types of caramel color, and the two that are obtained with the help of ammonia can harm health.
Unfortunately, the type of caramel color is usually not written on the label of the product.
American experts from the Center for Science and Public Interest's (CSPI) drew up a list of additives to avoid, and the caramel was near the top.
They claim there is clear evidence that it is a substance that causes cancerous changes in animals.
Yellow number 5 and 6
Yellow dye no. 5 (tartrazine) and no. 6 (sunset yellow) are artificial dyes used for coloring foods and beverages, such as creams, candy, baked goods, sauces and mustards in fast food restaurants.
Although they are allowed for consumption, some experts associate them with hyperactivity and problem behaviors in children and cancer.
Therefore, many companies from the UK voluntarily removed these colors from food.
In the UK, the law requires that yellow no. 5 and yellow no. 6 must be listed among the ingredients.
The list of additives to avoid also contains these two colors.
Toxic red, green and blue
Pay attention to the color red no. 2, 3, and 40, green no. 3, and blue no. 1 and 2.
Unfortunately, red no. 40, and yellow no. 5 and no. 6 are used in 90% of artificially colored food.
