The Toxic Truth About Artificial Food Dyes: FDA Finally Admits the Danger

For decades, parents and health advocates have been raising the alarm about artificial food dyes and their dangers. These dyes—petroleum-based chemicals added to processed foods for no reason other than aesthetics—have been linked to hyperactivity, behavioral issues, and now, even cancer.
