Great! Now, drill down a bit with #JelSert and ask them why they are still using chemical additives in many of their products? #RedDye#40

Red Dye and Other Synthetic Dyes: Going, Going…GONE?

Thousands of foods, drinks and candies contain Red Dye No. 3. So do many drugs. The FDA says Red Dye and other petroleum-based dyes must go!

Is the RED ALERT Over or Just Lipstick on a Toxic Pigment?

Will the FDA really require food and drug manufacturers to remove Red Dye No. 3 from their products? Is it a real Red Alert or a false alarm?

Don’t follow figures like Jim Jones and expect no consequences. Blindly following dangerous ideologies can lead to harmful outcomes. Just like "drinking the Kool-Aid," following without questioning can be a dangerous path. Always think critically and stay informed.
#RedDye

Red dye, specifically synthetic food colorants like Red 40 (Allura Red), has been the subject of various health concerns. Some harmful side effects that have been attributed to red dyes, particularly in high consumption or sensitive individuals, include:

1. Hyperactivity and Behavioral Issues: Some studies suggest that artificial food colorings, including Red 40, can contribute to hyperactivity and attention problems, especially in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The "Feingold Diet" proposed a connection between food additives and behavioral changes.

2. Allergic Reactions: Red dyes may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, including hives, rashes, and swelling. In rare cases, anaphylaxis (a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction) has been reported.

3. Asthma and Breathing Issues: People with asthma may experience worsened symptoms, including wheezing and shortness of breath, when consuming food containing artificial red dyes.

4. Cancer Concerns: There have been debates about the potential carcinogenic effects of certain artificial dyes. Red 40, for instance, has been linked to cancer in animal studies, though it is considered safe for consumption by regulatory bodies like the FDA in approved quantities.

5. Hormonal Disruption: Some animal studies have suggested that artificial food dyes could affect hormone levels and disrupt the endocrine system, although further research is needed to establish these effects in humans.

6. Skin Sensitivities: Red dye consumption has been linked to skin sensitivities in certain individuals, including the development of rashes, eczema, and other dermatological issues.

7. Potential for Genetic Mutations: Some studies have raised concerns about the potential for synthetic dyes to cause genetic mutations, although the evidence remains inconclusive.

8. Toxicity and Organ Damage: In high doses, some food colorants have been associated with toxicity that can affect organs…

I assume Red Dye 3 is the same colour as his face and that's why he wants it banned.
