What is Bixin?
About Bixin
Bixin, a natural food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree, has been extensively studied for its potential negative effects on children's health. Recent research has shown that when children consume foods containing bixin, they may experience an increase in hyperactivity.
In addition to the potential impact on hyperactivity, there is also evidence suggesting a link between bixin and an increased risk of developing asthma in children. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that can cause breathing difficulties and wheezing, making it essential to address any factors that may contribute to its development.
