Did you know that artificial dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, and Blue 2 are hiding in so many of the foods we eat? These dyes are made from petroleum (yes, the stuff used to make fuel) and can have serious impacts on your health. 🚨 Here’s why you should think twice about consuming them:
🧠 Linked to hyperactivity in children, especially ADHD.
🩺 Potential allergens, causing hives and other reactions.
💡 May impact mood and behavior, leading to irritability or brain fog.
📚 Some studies suggest they could be carcinogenic over time. You’ll find these dyes in candies, snacks, sodas, flavored yogurts, and even “health” foods like protein powders and sports drinks. The good news? There are plenty of brands using natural colorings like beet juice, turmeric, and spirulina instead! Here are some common “foods” that use these toxic dyes and better-for-you swaps. Let’s ditch the artificial junk and embrace the natural alternatives.
