Many studies had confirmed existence of relationship between food flavorants and occurring of many types of cancer such as stomach, liver and kidney carcinomas. In this study we found that synthetic Vanilla (vanillin) which is a food flavorant widely used in food industry and homemade pastry causes many types of chromosomal disorder in Vicia faba root tips cells such as gaps ,breakage, stickiness, translocation and braiding of sister chromatids .There was a progressive reduction in plant height, primary and secondary root length when plants treated with 0.2% , 0.5% ,1% , 3% , 5% concentrations of synthetic vanilla as a result of mitotic index reduction.In contrast to these results , the low concentration of 0.2%vanillin increased plant height and mitotic index .
