Health Risks of Artificial Food Colorants

00:00:00
Speaker
Next, we'll briefly discuss food colorants, basically artificial food colorants. A lot of them are made from petroleum and they can bind to various human proteins in the gut or in the blood, which as you know by now, this can cause immune reactions and eventually this can cause autoimmunity.
00:00:18
Speaker
So here's a quote from a study, artificial food colourings, though known to cause DNA damage, adverse effects on delivering kidneys and have carcinogenic properties, so cancer promoting properties, have not been restricted.

Regulatory Landscape and Market Presence

00:00:32
Speaker
Instead, they have actually been increased in use for a growing number of foods over the last 50 years.
00:00:37
Speaker
So we know that these are potentially carcinogenic substances, but there's very little that has been done to remove them all from the market. Now, some have been banned. If you go to Wikipedia, you can find a list of some that have been banned, but you can also find a lot of artificial ones that are still there, still being used in a lot of products.

Specific Health Impacts on Children and Adults

00:00:57
Speaker
So it's very important to steer clear of these because they can cause hyperactivity in children, they can increase icky gut, they can interfere with digestive enzymes. As I already mentioned, they can trigger immune responses. They can also cause hypersensitivity to other toxins, and they can cause a number of other problems like liver toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction.

Future Dietary Strategies

00:01:18
Speaker
So another thing we'll discuss in the module on diet strategies on how to avoid.
