Hi, Is the use of red color in food i.e. chicken tikka, tandoori chicken etc, harmful, as I have read it is the cause for brain cancer and each time I pass by fast food centres I note this color and other and the food displayed in dark red and green colors sends me a pang in my heart. Can something be done to create awareness among the mass.
