The discovery by scientists at the University of Texas, Dallas demonstrates that tartrazine can make skin translucent, allowing for direct observation of underlying tissues.
When tartrazine is applied to the skin, it alters the refractive index of water to match lipids in skin, enabling light to pass straight through with minimal scattering.
The process is reversible and safe, with the solution quickly washing off the skin and being metabolized and excreted effectively by the body.
This research highlights both medical innovation and the troubling reality of our food supply's lack of transparency regarding the safety and properties of food additives.
