Food Dyes...Ick!

Let's shed some light on Food Dyes for a moment. There have been multiple studies on the effects of food dyes on our brains & body systems outlining the negative ramifications and yet they are still allowed in our food. WHY? Aggression, learning impairments, inattention, tumors, asthma, hives, hyperactivity, cancers and more, have all been linked to food dyes. Many parents have seen a difference in their child's behavior when they eliminate food dyes. It’s frustrating because some of our food companies will accommodate the European ban but not here in the USA. Again, why are these not banned yet? Using natural food coloring has been an alternative and does not affect the taste (I personally think it taste better). Read labels & when you see Red, Blue, Yellow listed as ingredients, stay away! Look for the alternative. Can’t find an alternative, just ask, or ask yourself if you really need that product. So I ask you again, why are they not banned yet?! I bet I know…
