what is FOOD COLORING ???

Companies use artificial colors to make their foods more appealing to consumers.

The reason is that the color of food speaks to humans'

innate perceptions about the value of food items.

Because we think that color is a reliable indicator of the healthful quality of foods.

Why they do so??

There are loads of artificial colors in candy, which makes for a very bad combination especially for children. If you give kids a load of sugar and petrochemicals together in the same meal, their nervous systems go crazy.

YOU COULD BUY diseases along with fruits…

Growers know about this color preference, so some of them in Florida for example - hijack that instinctual process by dipping some of their oranges in a cancer-causing red dye that makes the peel look more orange. The FDA has banned that dye from use in foods because it is a carcinogen.

And they could be made up of….

Coal tar and petrochemicals are the sources of the artificial colors that go into our foods, and these artificial coloring ingredients are dangerous to our health.

food companies sell a product and generate profit, regardless of the health effects on consumers which have been worrisome.

Human body was not designed to eat petrochemicals!!!

Even from insects…• one more interesting tidbit I'd like to share with

you. You might be familiar with red color ingredient called carmine; it can be found in strawberry yoghurt and a variety of other products. Carmine is made up by grinding up beetles and straining them red.

• Companies don't put this information on their labels. They merely list "carmine," and they leave it up to you to figure out what that means. Ninety-nine percent of people in this world have no idea what carmine really is, but now you do.

Folks, its not stawberry, its

insect juice

Now what to do??

Read ingredients. Look for artificial food ingredients such as yellow#2, red#5 etc and avoid them.

With a little checking around you will discover that all the cheap, low grade products in grocery tend to use artificial colors.

Another repeat offender in this are “sports drinks” with loaded petrochemicals. They have no nutritional value. One can use juices or just coconut water.

The confectionery industries rely heavily on these- cakes and icing. . If you really want to commit nutritional suicide, eat a lot of icing.

Avoid non seasonal fruits especially water melon, berries, oranges, apples etc
