Dear All Ok. Don't know the correct answer. But no harm in scraching the head. 1. Sometimes the pigments are bad, r also found to be carcinogenic 2. A case was found of albino pig. Here when the albino pig was fed with some specific plant and was exposed to sunlight it developed skin rashes, which latter developed skin cancers. But Black pig if fed was not affected. It was found that the plant pigments were bad as when exposed to sunlight were reacting with UV and were producing some toxins resulting into skin cancers. In black pigs the melanin pigments were absorbing those UV hence no bad effect was seen. 3. Plant spents energy in pigment formation, hence production of other material can/will be less. Where as in white flower plant, less expenditure of enrgy on pigment formation hence more production of other materials. These other materials can be the alkaoids produced,or the secondary metabolities, which actually have the medicinal values. Hence in white revolution the milking cow is made to stand at one place so that gives more milk. 4. Some pigments like red / orange are of Tamasi type that is they increase the temperament. Which may affect hormone production in body creating bad effects. Any other gueses???? Thanks for $making me tjink. Madhuri Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel
