[Guest guest]

MSG hides behind the names " gelatin " and " yeast extract " and " brown rice

syrup, " (Dr. Mercola)

The FDA does not currently limit the amount of 2-MI or 4-MI in foods.

On February 16, 2011, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI)

submitted a petition to the FDA asking them to ban the use of caramel

colorings (produced with ammonia) from all food products.

In their petition, CSPI cited a number of scientific studies showing these

additives cause a variety of cancerous tumors‹and other seriously damaging

effects‹in rats and mice. Specifically, they report the following

physiological phenomena:

Alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma and carcinoma

Mononuclear cell leukemia

Mineralization of the thyroid gland, and thyroid cancer

Liver cancer

Chronic focal inflammation of the lung

Cardiomyopathy

Pancreatic atrophy

Inflammation of the prostate gland

Hypertrophy of the pituitary gland

Abnormal behaviors, including hyperactivity and impaired gait, indicating

neurotoxicity

All of THAT from caramel coloring! They'll have to make soda cans bigger to

fit all those warnings on the label.

Hi,

I agree. Trialing would be right down their alley. You would not be able

to afford it, nor find doctors to prescribe it. Leave It ALONE! It belongs

to the people and once you give it up, it won¹t come back around. We don¹t

want their approval!!!!!

You said that " It cost pennies now and the increase would be minimal. " You

are either very naive or you are connected to the drug companies. Dr Skips

example, I have forgotten the name of the drug, was a very old drug that

was very cheap, the FDA offered a drug company to trial the drug and they

would have an exclusive on it. The price went up something like 1000 times,

hardly minimal.
