Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review examined the link between food additives (such as artificial colors, sweeteners, preservatives, and MSG) and allergic reactions in children, finding that these additives are significant contributors to conditions like urticaria, eczema, rhinitis, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Out of 327 studies initially identified, 7 were selected for detailed analysis, which confirmed a notable association between certain food additives and hypersensitivity reactions in children, supported by clinical signs and laboratory evidence.
  • The review estimates that roughly 12% of children experience hypersensitivity to food additives, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and managing exposure to these substances to prevent allergic reactions.]

Los aditivos alimentarios como colorantes y edulcorantes artificiales, conservantes y el glutamato monosódico son responsables de la mayoría de los casos de hipersensibilidad en niños. La hipersensibilidad a aditivos alimentarios es de alrededor del 1,2 %. https://t.co/gWYDEpvy0X https://t.co/gsgTDcwdBB
