The list of artificial colours is long and shocking. Basically, there are no health benefits in adding colours to our food. On the contrary, the added colorings in juices, cereals, snacks, and vitamin supplements affect the functioning of the nervous system. Our liver cannot break down these chemicals and they affect our neurotransmitters, and eventually our thinking ability. The amount of food coloring found in processed foods is shocking!
Significant increases in hyperactivity occur after getting 20 mg. of food coloring per day, which is much less than the amount found in many processed foods today.
So is there an healthier option?
Well yes, if the food companies are so keen on colouring our food and making it more attractive they can always use the natural dyes like beets for red and turmeric for yellow.
