Is consuming too much food colouring bad for you and why?!


Question: The other day I was at the grocery store and I had chinese noodles in my cart. This man behind me told me, "don't eat too much of that, the food colouring isn't good for you. Trust me, I'm chinese, I should know." What did he mean by that?

What comes in must come out! But seriously, most artificial colorings are synthetic chemicals that do not occur in nature. Because colorings are used almost solely in foods of low nutritional value (candy, soda pop, gelatin desserts, etc.), you should simply avoid all artificially colored foods. In addition to problems such as cancer risks, colorings cause hyperactivity in some sensitive children. The use of coloring usually indicates that fruit or other natural ingredient has not been used.

some of chinese noodles contain alot of boric acid which is bad for your health. also some food colourings eg tartarazine can cause cancer in later years.

yes i don't really know why but it may cause cancer later

like years later
