The Risk of Artificial Food Coloring (On The Spot)
Lifestyle Tags: Artificial, Coloring, Food, risk, SpotNo Comments »
This video explores the health risks associated with petroleum based artificial food coloring, as well as its history and legislation that continues to effect us today. Food dyes are in so many product. Many you wouldn’t even suspect. They offer us no nutritional value, no flavor, no texture, and no reason to include them in the product, beyond a tradition that dates back to the 19th century, to make food look appealing. Today we consumers have a need for our health’ sake, to educate ourselves and relearn what food is supposed to look like; and push food manufacturers to stop using dyes. Most companies already have dye free options of all their products, which are sold outside the US. So how hard is it to simply sell them in the US as well? Our leaders and government entities such as the FDA need to get out of the mentality that potentially harmful is ok so long as it isn’t proven harmful. Why should we allow for potentially at all? In the case of food dye’s, there is zero reason to allow it. And in any case, why should the burden of proof be put on the consumer, as it has been with dyes? Simply, it never should have gotten here.
