Harmful Effects of Red Food Coloring
 Surely everyone agrees that all foods without color is a rarity. The red color here certainly have an important role in giving color to a food. Without the red, whatever color we want in a food is not going to happen that way. Imagine the wine will become blue, chocolate pudding turns green. Everything feels strange and unusual. Therefore, the role of the red color here as the main colors to bring a number of complementary colors is very important. , We perform large-scale production to bring this red color. Initially the red color comes from a type of insect as I described in my previous post. Then scientists discovered a new innovation on artificial dyes which must facilitate users in food coloring. We all know that all things are not acquired naturally have more adverse effects, both for the health, environment and our universe. Here is described a bit about the health impacts of red color in foods: ** a. Allergic Reations **  Some people have some sort of incompatibility of a substance of colors, including red. We know that the red color obtained from the extraction of the cochineal insect kind, which also cause allergies in humans. Red dye used not only in food but are used also in other products such as in pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics Therefore, in some countries to label products that contain natural or artificial dyes to inform you that this product may cause allergies if consumed by certain people who have a high level kesensitivan of dye. ** b. Cancer **  Red Dye Number 2 is an additive Used for decades to liven the color of hot dogs, pet food, ice cream, gravy, makeup and a Myriad of red pills. This is a tar-based product known to cause constriction of the bronchial tubes, angioedema (swelling) and hives known as Urticaria. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has Officially rescinded the provisional approval of Red Dye Number 2 after tests showed a significant increase is in Cancer Among female aged Rats. The FDA claims there is' no evidence-That this dye is a public health hazard. The amount of dye consumption required to meet the standards of this test in Humans is considerable and unlikely. ** c. Hyperactivity in Children **  Several other countries besides the United States prohibits the use of dyes such as red allura for consumption by children. But the FDA allows its use in cosmetics, medicines and foods. This substance is itself actually harmless, but it will become dangerous when combined with other ingredients that can increase the risk of hiperactivity in children aged between 8-9 years.
