Pedro Mendez, a science communicator and podcaster, joins Chris to unravel the mystery of Red Dye No. 3. They discuss why the FDA banned this dye in the U.S. yet it's still permitted in Canada. Is the link between this dye and cancer in rats a serious threat to humans? They also explore the potential connection between artificial colorings and ADHD in children. Plus, stick around for a delightful reference to Winnie the Pooh that adds a touch of whimsy to the serious topic of food safety and public health perceptions!
