What happens if you drink food colouring?
Hey guys, i was eating an ice lolly the other day, and it turned my tounge and lips blue, i was just wondering what would happen if you drank liquid food colouring?
A) what would be the long term effects?
B) What would be the short term effects?
No, sorry i should have been more clear, i’m not talking about a specfic food colouring in ice lolly’s, i mean just any food colouring in general, like what would happen if you kept drinking loads of it etc

Your liver has to process food colorings, most are synthetic and a lot of it can cause your gall bladder to flush out. Food additives can stress your liver and mess with the functioning. A friend and I each got a large black slush drink from Burger King once, we drank it on afternoon break. Her gall bladder had already been removed and she barely got home in time before she I had diarrhea full of green bile. I have my gall bladder and passed a lot of dark green bile or gall-stones (don’t know which it was but there were a lot) the next morning when I went to the restroom. Both of us vowed never to drink those drinks again, and I try to avoid food dyes whenever possible.
