I see they now have determined that red dye 3 is bad for you after about 56 years of use, go figure.

How long before lead was banned from water pipes, paint and gas, or DDT as banned or asbestos

Just because something has been around a long time doesn't mean it’s not harmful, I think the US is the only country that still allowed its use in food that might not be conclusive but should be telling

How will I enjoy my Doritos without Red Dye?

Red dye is now made with red bugs, I read the other day, thought it BS but had it listed on some stuff in a store, might still be BS though LOL

It's only purpose to to make processed foods more visually appealing, usually because the natural colors were stripped during the processing. It has no nutritional value.

Don't eat garbage.

One need not look far to find the young people of this country raised on red dye and other garbage based poison additives that are passed off as food are increasingly unhealthy, less intelligent, primarily worthless.

People are just now realizing it because of folks like Alex Jones and infowars.com

They had better not touch my favorites. Yellow #5 & #6…….

Red is dead…

I'm a red 40 man

The green M&M is the hot one anyway.

I remember back in the late eighties or nineties there was a rumor that tartrazine (Yellow #5), shrunk men's testicles. A lot of people I knew stopped drinking Mountain Dew. Quitting made some of them miserable.

Soft drinks can be addicting. I know several people that cant go 24 hours without them. Quite a few that dont eat food either. Live on grocery store snack foods. Ice cream, chips, pastry in a box etc. Those folks looks like to me are addicted to that stuff. They feed it to their kids too. Not a once in a while treat but what they eat. Daily. Prefer that stuff over food. I have no doubts that eaten like that all those unpronounceable chemicals on food labels are unhealthy.

Is this the same food coloring that some put in their hummingbird feeders?

Well I've eaten very little meat with it in...post 1983

The timing of this announcement is no coincidence.

Same reason as the cease fire in the middle east? Trying to get ahead of what they know is coming so the blows won't be as bad and maybe some won't be fired was My guess..

I had to think what you meant for a bit, and will say I think it’s pure coincidence. To think otherwise would be tinfoil hatly IMO.

I love Doritos and other stuff with Red Dye as much as the next person (or more) but it frustrates me to no end they put all these “food cosmetics” ad I call them just for looks. I’ve been trying to eat less crap like this anyways and I hope this can push our food industry to give more options with 100% unnecessary ingredients as loossgoose pointed out!

Happy trapping! ScottW

It has been known for years that Red no. three was bad. Liquor industry kept it alive.

Explaining it to Congress the other day they held up a bag of American Fruit Loops (with coloring) vs Canadian Fruit Loops (without coloring).

Im not sure if its just visual and affects sales or if the flavor is diff too I don't know. Its all sugar I don't know but wonder about the Doritos example too.

Beats me. We will see I guess.

All food dyes should be banned, they have no nutritional value.
Time for the US to get rid of all the chemicals and other additives in food.

While I understand what your saying there is nothing that makes people uy and eat these products and there are healthy things to eat available. Typically anything the government dose it messes up. I'm more pro freedom and say let the moron be morons. There is no reason to need warning labled to not drink the battery acid for example.

More laws and regulations mean more government is needed to keep track of and enforce those regulations. That's more wast and eventually more government power.


The road to heck is paved with the best intentions.
