Summary A newly discovered health benefit of annatto is its antioxidant properties that protect DNA from mutations induced by UV light, superoxides, or peroxides, hence its inclusion in skin care products. Annatto has been used for centuries to keep food from spoiling, and laboratory tests show that annatto extracts inhibit the growth of Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, and Staphylococcus aureus. Don't add annatto to live cultures from kefir or yogurt if you want the beneficial bacteria. Precautions Allergies to annatto in the context of an organic, whole foods diet are rare.
