These dyes are banned in food in many countries, yet they are still found in illegally colored spices (such as chili and curry), cosmetics (like lipsticks and hair products), and plastic packaging.

Impact on the body

They enter the body through contaminated food consumption, skin contact with dyed products, and inhalation of micro-contaminants from colored consumer goods.
Being lipophilic, they accumulate in fat-rich tissues such as bone marrow and nervous tissue. They inhibit lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and deform white blood cells, disrupting oxygen metabolism and immune communication.

Health consequences

Dr. Hulda Clark observed that these dyes weaken immune cells and facilitate viral insertion into chromosomes. They are associated with mutations, suppression of hematopoiesis, infertility, liver failure, and cancer, particularly in tissues with high cellular turnover such as blood and epithelial layers.
