Yellow #5

"Tartrazine" are you by any chance familiar with the word?

I have shared to you in this article about the additives added on meat on one of my article https://read.cash/@Xzeon/be-health-conscious-c3e8d565 give time to read pls. And share also.

This time i'm going to get you familiarize with a certain additive that we are mostly unaware of or maybe you are already aware of it but you just took it so lightly 😊.

So here it is..

Tartrazine is a yellow food coloring and is also called

. FD&C Yellow#5,

. E # E102,

. Acid Yellow 23,

. Food Yellow 4,

. and trisodium 1--4--5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylate.

This artificial coloring is known to be widely used in some foods and even in some pharmaceuticals for a long time. But in countries like Norway and Austria, the use of tartrazine has been banned while other countries also are following. It is said to have a great effect on children and gives negative effect to the consumers. FDA Is still gathering some evidence from countries who appeal for the dropping of the said coloring on the products in which it is added.

A human consumption of tartrazine must be 7.5/mg/kg of body weight.

So for example I am 50 kg in body weight, i am only recommended to consume 375 mg of tartrazine in a day. The calculation for the children is also the same depending on their bodyweight. So if you know that your kid is fond of eating foods with tartrazine content. Its your responsibility as a parent to control their intake.
