Abstract

Artificial food dyes are responsible for the bright colors of candy, sports drinks and baked goods.They’re even used in certain brands of pickles, smoked salmon and salad dressing, as well as medications.In fact, artificial food dye consumption has increased by 500% in the last 50 years, and children are the biggest consumers .Claims have been made that artificial dyes cause serious side effects, such as hyperactivity in children, as well as cancer and allergies.The topic is highly controversial and there are many conflicting opinions about the safety of artificial food dyes. This article separates the fact from fiction. Food dyes are chemical substances that were developed to enhance the appearance of food by giving it artificial color.People have added colorings to food for centuries, but the first artificial food colorings were created in 1856 from coal tar.Nowadays, food dyes are made from petroleum.Over the years, hundreds of artificial food dyes have been developed, but a majority of them have since been found to be toxic. There are only a handful of artificial dyes that are still used in food.Food manufacturers often prefer artificial food dyes over natural food colorings, such as beta carotene and beet extract, because they produce a more vibrant color.However, there is quite a bit of controversy regarding the safety of artificial food dyes. All of the artificial dyes that are currently used in food have gone through testing for toxicity in animal studies.Regulatory agencies, like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), have concluded that the dyes do not pose significant health risks.Not everyone agrees with that conclusion. Interestingly, some food dyes are deemed safe in one country, but banned from human consumption in another, making it extremely confusing to assess their safety.Textile dyes are substances used to color fabrics. The dyes soak into the fabric and change it chemically, resulting in color that stays permanently through repeated use. Today, more than 10,000 substances are classified as textile dyes, and different kinds of dyes work better on specific kinds of fabric. Most of our clothing and home furnishings are colored with synthetic, or man-made, dyes.
