Answer 1

YELLOW # 5 is TARTRAZINE - (organic chemistry) C16H9N4O9S2 A bright orange-yellow, water-soluble powder, used as a food, drug, and cosmetic dye.

It Artificial colouring. Common name for uncertified FD&C Yellow; No.5 Cl Acid Yellow; Acid Yellow 23; Cl Food Yellow 4; Coal Tar Dye;

Pyrazolone Dye. Tartrazine is an Aromatic Hydrocarbon. Causes CANCER. The FDA states that over 100,000 people are allergic to tartrazine.

U.K. studies have shown that 79% of hyperactive children are allergic to tartrazine. It is believed to cause allergic reactions in 15% of the total population. Known effects are urticaria, asthma, altered states of perception and behaviour, uncontrolled hyper agitation and confusion. Known reactions are rhinitis (hay fever), bronchospasms (breathing problems), blurred vision and purple patches on the skin. It may also cause wakefulness in young children at night. Tartrazine is known to inhibit zinc metabolism (zinc is required in over 200 enzyme systems in the body).

It is an active ingredient in herbicides used to kill aquatic weeds. In 1986 the ‘British Institute of Mental Handicap’ linked it with aggressive behaviour in children. Prevents the action of an enzyme that breaks down many potentially harmful toxins formed during digestion. Tartrazine is one of four Azo dyes known to interfere with the digestive enzymes 1-Amylase, Pepsin and Trypsin. The British Medical Journal, the “Lancet”, lists these problems associated with tartrazine:- Allergies; Thyroid Tumours; Lymphocytic Lymphomas, Chromosomal Damage;

Trigger for Asthma; Urticaria; Hyperactivity.
As an Azo Dye, it is implicated in bladder cancer, liver cancer and sarcomas. (In hair dyes, tartrazine is absorbed through the skin.)

Tartrazine is completely banned from foods in Norway and Finland and is heavily restricted in Austria, Sweden and Germany.-

Don't listen to these people. They would rather fool themselves into thinking that the FDA actually has their best interests at heart. The same FDA that passed Vioxx and the evil aspartame (phenalanyline) for use in "Nutrasweet". Here is what is known about "Yellow #5" (also see source): FD&C Yellow No.5; known to provoke asthma attacks (though the US FDA** do not recognise this) and urticaria (nettle rash) in children (the US FDA** estimates 1:10 000); also linked to thyroid tumours, chromosomal damage, urticaria (hives) and hyperactivity; tartrazine sensitivity is also linked to aspirin sensitivity; used to colour drinks, sweets, jams, cereals, snack foods, canned fish, packaged soups; banned in Norway and Austria
