The Risks of Artificial Food Dyes
The banning of red dye number three highlights the health risks associated with artificial food dyes, particularly concerning cancer in animals and potential effects in humans. These dyes are commonly found in processed foods and are made from petroleum products, raising concerns about their long-term health impacts. Many consumers may not realize that the vibrant colors in snacks and cereals are designed to attract attention, playing on natural human instincts to select ripe, sugary fruits. By reading labels carefully and opting for natural coloring alternatives such as beet juice or pomegranate extract, consumers can make healthier dietary choices.
