Artificial food dye, how I despise you.
Did you know these dyes are created synthetically in several ways. Some dyes are created by burning coal tar and others are derived from petroleum byproducts like tartrazine and erythrosine!
Back in 2010, the European Union passed a law that requiring companies to post a notice on each dyed product sold in Europe. The notice states, “May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.”!
In Britain, Fanta orange soda is dyed with pumpkin and carrot extract while the U.S. version is dyed with Red 40 and Yellow 6.
Kellogg Strawberry NutriGrain bars are colored with Red 40, Yellow 6 and Blue 1 in the U.S., but with beetroot, annatto and paprika extract in the UK. These are just a couple examples.
America needs to wake up to this. Food Dyes have been linked to Cancer, ADHD, Allergies and Behavior. There is just no need for this junk in our food.
I understand this is something that has been debated back and forth for many years. However you have to trust what you know and what has worked for you. There was enough evidence for me via holistic and scientific studios to experiment with this.
Has anyone else out there cut artificial food dye out of their children diet too? I would LOVE to hear from you and your experiences with it.
