TartrazineSouthampton study link to hyperactivity/attention effects in children; can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
Brilliant blue FCFSynthetic dye; allergic-type reactions reported in sensitive individuals.
DiphosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
PolyphosphatesInorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable; high additive-phosphate intake is associated with increased cardiovascular and kidney burden, particularly in chronic kidney disease.
