The pub "Science, Public Health Policy and the Law" is NOT a respected academic journal.
🚩MAJOR RED FLAG!🚩
An antivaxx fanzine run by antivaxxers. Consistently contains often debunked antivaxx nonsense.
Good example of how academic literature is getting polluted with BS.

Food dyes that MAHA screams about:
1️⃣aren’t banned in Europe.
2️⃣aren’t impacting health.
This is a distraction from ACTUAL issues.
Like:
90% of Americans don’t eat enough fiber & fruits/veggies
Half of us don’t have access to adequate healthcare.
It isn’t the food dyes.
