Yellow Dye isn’t okay.
The health risks of yellow dyes depend on the specific type of dye being used. Here are some key concerns associated with common yellow dyes in food and other products:

1. Tartrazine (Yellow #5)

👎🏼Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to tartrazine, particularly those with aspirin sensitivity. Reactions can include hives, itching, and asthma-like symptoms.
👎🏼Hyperactivity in Children: Some studies suggest a possible link between artificial dyes like tartrazine and hyperactivity or behavioral issues in children, though this is still debated.
👎🏼Carcinogenic Concerns: While there is no definitive evidence that tartrazine is carcinogenic, concerns over long-term exposure have led to calls for more research and regulation.
👎🏼Other Side Effects: Some people report headaches, nausea, or other symptoms after consuming products with this dye.

2. Sunset Yellow FCF (Yellow #6)

👎🏼Allergy Risks: Like Yellow #5, Yellow #6 can trigger allergic reactions, particularly in those with aspirin intolerance.
👎🏼Hyperactivity and Behavioral Issues: Some studies suggest potential behavioral effects, particularly in sensitive individuals, but more research is needed.
👎🏼Cancer Risks: There has been some animal research linking Sunset Yellow with an increased risk of tumors, but the evidence in humans is inconclusive.
