This is my view.
Comment yes if you want me to share more such dangerous ingredient.
Aftr a daughter started going to school giving her snacks has become a big headache for me as she want to take candies , muffins , cupcakes and so on but I am somehow not convinced in giving those kind of snacks because of lot of sugar in it.
So I was doing my own way of search recent days to find out the best one I could ..
So when I was checking I saw lot of ingredients and read a lot about each ingredient and saw lot of warning signs for those and to my surprise these ingredients need a warning sign in few countries..
One such ingredient is called RED 40.
So basically Red 40, also known as Allura Red AC, is a synthetic food dye. It is derived from petroleum and belongs to the azo dye class. It’s commonly used in various food and beverage products to impart a red color.
Lot of studies proved a connection btw red 40 causing hyperactivity in kids while FDA says it is safe for consumption but this is still an ongoing debate.
Along with red 40 also check for below colours
Red 40,
Yellow 5,
Yellow 6,
Also be sure this artificial colour disrupt their immune system.
Also there is one more called blue 1 which is increases risk of kidney tumours.
Red 40 is a commonly used food coloring in various snacks, including candies, cereals, and beverages. Check the ingredient list on the packaging to identify if a specific snack contains Red 40.
We cannot avoid it completely So if you are consuming it everyday plz make sure you are limiting it.
