So... What are the side effects? That is pretty interesting but sounds... like it probably has some horrid side effect or something.

From the post:

>Researchers have peered into the brains and bodies of living animals after discovering that a common food dye can make skin, muscle and connective tissues temporarily transparent. Applying the dye to the belly of a mouse made its liver, intestines and bladder clearly visible through the abdominal skin, while smearing it on the rodent’s scalp allowed scientists to see blood vessels in the animal’s brain.

Side effects? Like... "cancer"?

Tartrazine is Yellow 5. https://infogalactic.com/info/Tartrazine https://archive.today/lSaSk

Yellow 5, like most -if not all- "food dyes", is toxic and causes "cancer".

Toxicology of food dyes https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23026007/ https://archive.today/JBImj

"This review finds that all of the nine currently US-approved dyes raise health concerns of varying degrees. Red 3 causes cancer in animals, and there is evidence that several other dyes also are carcinogenic.

Three dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) have been found to be contaminated with benzidine or other carcinogens.

At least four dyes (Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) cause hypersensitivity reactions.

Numerous microbiological and rodent studies of Yellow 5 were positive for genotoxicity.

Toxicity tests on two dyes (Citrus Red 2 and Orange B) also suggest safety concerns, but Citrus Red 2 is used at low levels and only on some Florida oranges and Orange B has not been used for several years."

In vitro and in vivo indications of the carcinogenicity and toxicity of food dyes https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/631937/ https://archive.today/rlysX

"Eight food dyes or commercial color mixtures certified for use in the United States were tested for their ability to transform in vitro a serial line of Fischer rat embryo cells previously reported to be a sensitive indicator of chemicals having carcinogenic potential.

Malignant cell transformation was induced by a commercial mixture (G2024) of two of these dyes (Blue 1 and Yellow 5) and by Blue 2, Green 3 (one of two experiments) and Red 4."

"#5: Processed Foods Containing Artificial Food Colors and Dyes

More than 3,000 food additives - preservatives, flavorings, colors and other ingredients - are added to US foods, including infant foods and foods targeted to young children. Meanwhile, many of these are banned in other countries, based on research showing toxicity and hazardous health effects, especially with respect to adverse effects on children’s behavior.

For example, as reported in the featured article:

"Boxed Mac & Cheese, cheddar flavored crackers, Jell-O and many kids cereals contain red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6 and/or blue 2, the most popularly-used dyes in the United States. Research has shown this rainbow of additives can cause behavioral problems as well as cancer, birth defects and other health problems in laboratory animals.

Red 40 and yellow 6 are also suspected of causing an allergy-like hypersensitivity reaction in children. The Center for Science in the Public Interest reports that some dyes are also "contaminated with known carcinogens."

In countries where these food colors and dyes are banned, food companies like Kraft employ natural colorants instead, such as paprika extract, beetroot, and annatto. The food blogger and activist Vani Hari, better known as "Food Babe," recently launched a Change.org petition asking Kraft to remove artificial dyes from American Mac & Cheese to protect American children from the well-known dangers of these dyes.

----- Where it’s banned: Norway and Austria. In 2009, the British government advised companies to stop using food dyes by the end of that year. The European Union also requires a warning notice on most foods containing dyes.

Cells from aborted babies are also used in food additives to millions of food items for humans to eat. e.g. Senomyx HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) cells from "electively-aborted fetuses" used to produce "flavor enhancers".

Brown pelican Society of Louisiana - Products That Use Aborted Fetuses, by Andrea Byrnes

"Today’s consumer products are not the soap and lampshades of recycled Nazi concentration camp victims.

The new utilitarian use of people is a sophisticated enterprise, not visible to the human eye.

Perhaps you are a diligent supporter and promoter of pro-life legislation, only vote for pro-life candidates, avoid entertainment from musicians and actors who openly support Planned Parenthood. Regardless, you may unwittingly be cooperating in aborted fetal cell research by purchasing products that use aborted fetuses, either in the product itself or in its development.

One might take Enbrel (Amgen) to relieve Rheumatoid Arthritis. Your husband was given Zoastavax (Merck), a Shingles vaccine, at his annual physical. Your mother with diabetes and renal failure is prescribed Arensep (Amgen). Your grandfather is given the blood product Repro (Eli Lilly) during an angioplasty. The local school district requires that your grandchildren receive the MMRII (the Merck Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine). Your daughter and son use coffee creamers and eat soup with artificial flavor enhancers (Senomyx/Firmenich) tested on artificial taste buds engineered from aborted fetal cells.

Because of the vagary of FDA labeling, unless you are proficient at reading patents and pharmaceutical inserts you wouldn’t know aborted fetal parts were there without someone to tell you.

Luckily, that someone is the watchdog group Children of God for Life (COG), a pro-life public citizen group which tracks the use of aborted fetal parts. Under the leadership of Executive Director Debi Vinnedge, COG publishes a downloadable list of products that use aborted fetuses currently available in the U.S.

FAQ: https://web.archive.org/web/20231208085309/https://cogforlife.org/frequently-asked-questions/

Products related to fetal material can be broken down into roughly 3 categories: artificial flavors, cosmetics, and medicines/vaccines."

To be fair, most imaging is carcinogenic, and exploratory surgery is worse. So it shouldnt be "any carcinogen is bad", it's relative risk.
