Posted @withregram • @organicfacts Caramel color, which is widely used in brown soft drinks, may cause cancer due to 4-methylimidazole (4-MeI), a chemical byproduct formed when certain types of caramel coloring are manufactured.The coloring is actually a mix of sugars, ammonia, and, in some cases, sulfite. When heated at high temperatures, this combination turns into 2-methylimidazole (2-MEI) and 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) – proven cancer inducers. In California, health officials recently added 4-MEI to the state list of cancer-causing chemicals.  The cancer news comes on the heels of another study presented at the 2011 International Stroke Conference. It found that people who consumed diet soda every day were significantly more likely to suffer from stroke, heart attack, and vascular death. In the NTP studies, mice and rats were fed the additives. They were then observed over a two-year period. Researchers found that 4-MEI caused lung tumors. And 2-MEI was associated with liver and thyroid tumors. #soda #caramel4mei #pepsi #coke #cancer #carcinogens #igdaily #igfacts #inspire #foodfacts #foodlabeling #bigsoda #organictruth #organic #organicfacts #organicfood #factsoffood #healthfacts #healthindicator #fitlife #lifefitness #pop #sodadrinks #igers #instalike #instamood #intheknow #foodbabe #organicbabe https://www.instagram.com/p/B77C9UGnYUs/?igshid=17c4l4068cl34
