The article reports on the harmful effects of synthetic food dyes in the diet and behavior of children. It references studies which show the negative effects of food dyes in children's physical and ps...
A study of nearly 300 children by the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency in 2007 showed that the consumption of foods containing dyes could increase hyperactive behavior in children. In the study of 3-, 8- and 9-year-olds, children were given three different types of beverages to drink...
A demonstration of the degradation of food coloring dyes by oxidation via the Fenton reaction can be substituted with a simpler demonstration using the oxidant oxone with iron(II) ions as an activator. The addition of small amounts of solid oxone and iron(II) sulfate to solutions containing mix...
Socioeconomic progress, diseases, and the constantly changing pace of life and lifestyles of consumers worldwide require food to be improved and tailored to meet the needs of purchasers. The produced food is functional, convenient, and enriched. This is
Microalgae can produce high-value compounds such as polysaccharides, poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin), and vitamins with very high nutraceutical and pharmaceutical potentials [9]. Hence, it has been demonstrated that microalgae have a large ...
Researchers have found that hyperactivity in children may be related tofood additives, but only occasionally and only when the child has had a lot of them. A food allergy won't directly affect a child's behavior, although their symptoms might make them cranky and difficult, and allergy medicat...
Because food dyes of different colors degrade at different rates, successive changes in color during degradation can be observed for various dye mixtures. Catalyst-like behavior is also demonstrated; in the absence of a transition metal such as iron to activate the oxone, negligible color ...
Behavior Problems in Children Tartrazine's effects are central to a few studies done in human children to assess behavioral changes. Research on artificial food colorings (AFC) in children has found that large doses (defined as 50 milligrams or more of AFC) caused a more significant negative ...
Child Rearing and Education. Children are traditionally cared for by their parents, although the extended kin may also play a major role in the upbringing. In terms of child rearing the national culture espouses Western ideals of good behavior, education, and competitiveness. On top of this an...
substances decreases the aesthetic value of an aquatic system, contributes to higher chemical oxygen demand (COD), and influences the passing of light10,11. Additionally, these dyes have harmful effects on human health as their metabolites are mutagenic, carcinogenic, and are hyperactive in children...
