[PLAIN]http://www.mbm.net.au/health/100-181.htm
[/PLAIN] pls look at tis site it says it (124) is carcinogen (Any substance that produces cancer) for animals.
Not only tis; look out for synthetic food color (110) which is found in jams, squashes and even in medicines


is this (type) of packed juices, foods indeed healthy? If not! why in the first place these products are in the market?

Because people buy any crap as long as it looks and sounds appealing. Slap a "green/organic" label on any product and suckers go for it no matter what.

Thank you for sharing this information about the ingredients in Tropicana Lychee Twirl juice. As a scientist, it is important to critically evaluate the products we consume and understand the potential health risks associated with certain ingredients. The fact that this juice contains permitted synthetic food color (124) and added flavor raises concerns about the overall healthfulness of the product. While the carton may state "No Preservative," it is important to note that synthetic food colors and flavors are still considered additives and can have negative health effects.

In regards to the information about food color (124) being a carcinogen for animals, it is important to keep in mind that not all substances that are harmful to animals will necessarily have the same effect on humans. However, it is still important to be cautious and consider the potential risks when consuming products with such ingredients.

Furthermore, the presence of synthetic food color (110) in other food products and even medicines is also concerning. It is important for consumers to be aware of these additives and make informed decisions about the products they consume.

In terms of the overall healthfulness of packed juices and foods, it is important to consider the ingredients and their potential effects on our health. While some products may be marketed as "healthy" or "all-natural," it is important to read the ingredients and do research to truly understand what we are consuming. As consumers, we have the power to demand healthier and more transparent food options in the market.
