Food dyes are bad! (Poison)

[Takelli]

I have recently been awoken to see what truly is there right in front of you. My love has done this for me, and it has caused me to be doing quite a bit of research on such subjects, such as fluoride (Which is really bad for you, yet it is put in tap water, and I can't drink tap, gives me chest pains every time I do.), and food coloring and so on. I recently found this link which I think those that are health conscious, and looking into what is really in their food to be interesting. I suggest everyone takes a look at it though.

Here you go, Enjoy!

The Truth About Food (Dyes) - Couric & Co. - CBS News

Here is a blog with more information if you wish to read more about it.

I would also like to request a forum section dedicated to [strike]food it self[/strike] healthy living. There have been a few threads about food, but nothing too serious, and I would like more to really know what is in the stuff we call "food". Most of it really isn't actual food.

Yea, its synthetic, and your body shouldn't be taking in anything synthetic, as well as milk, except your mothers milk when you are just a baby.

Synthetic foods can cause your body issues, and pretty bad damage. I'm learning about this my self, but I am also spreading the word about it as I come across it.

lololololololololol is this forreal?

But a few years ago, an analysis of 21 of the most conclusive studies found compelling evidence that, indeed, artificial dyes could contribute to hyperactivity, restlessness, and attention problems in some children – particularly those with ADHD.

Symptoms of ADHD in children with ADHD? QUICKLY ASSIGN BLAME.

What's more, the studies suggested that removing dyes from those children's diet was a quarter to half as effective in reducing those symptoms as giving the kids Ritalin or other stimulants. In other words, certain kids with ADHD might not need drugs if the artificial dyes were removed from their diets.

Was it removing the artificial colors that helped or the foods the colors were in? Nobody adds color to broccoli, corn, meats, or foods that don't contain 95% sugars. Just reducing the sugars is what probably did the trick, but that's not newsworthy, I guess.

My mother told me artificial food coloring made me crazy. I had ADD and I'm pretty sure I was a little crazy without them.

Actually, it is.

My nephew for example has issues when he eats artificial coloring in foods. He doesn't listen, sit still, and is just a little prick basically. He even gets rashes from artificial coloring. When he doesn't eat it, he is a lot easier to handle.

Yea, sugar does cause kids to become wild, but not like how the colors do.

Look at his other posts. He's serious.

No. He can't even eat a few jelly beans, he breaks out in rashes, and acts up. He can eat cookies, and other such stuff with sugar and no food coloring, and he is perfectly fine.

Different people react to different things, unsuprisingly, differently.

There was a kind of chocolate cookie I used to buy from the dollar store for snacks. Turns out it had lots of green dye in it - care to know how I arrived at that conclusion?

But that aside, no ill effects. Chocolate bear cookies were at the dollar store for a reason, apparently.

Personally, I'm still more worried about High Fructose Corn Syrup than dyes. That shit is in everything and even as "bad" as sugar is said to be, its better for you than that stuff.

I have had bang head on walls conversations regarding HFCS with people. It really is terrible and all-pervasive, but they actually believe those corn association commercials.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is sugar I thought....
