Abstract

The rapid urbanization and changing dietary patterns have led to increased consumption of processed foods containing artificial additives such as preservatives, colorants, emulsifiers, and artificial sweeteners. Though considered safe within prescribed limits, chronic exposure to these substances has been associated with metabolic, neurological, and immunological disorders. Ayurveda conceptualizes such cumulative toxicity under Gara Visha. This review analyzes artificial additives through Ayurvedic and modern perspectives and highlights preventive strategies.
