Anyone else have ADD or ADHD in their family? I do. If you have a child who has it, then either you or your spouse has it as well. I have never been diagnosed with it, but daughter has. Since her dad is no longer with us, we can only guess the reality, that it is probably me who has it.

Brain Health Guide To Red Dye #40

Pop quiz! See if you can figure out what the following list of foods has in common:
Horrifyingly, the food industry dumps 15 million pounds of artificial dyes into our food every year—over 40% of which is Red Dye 40, a petroleum-based substance. Red Dye 40 is the number-one food dye used in the United States, found in most unnaturally red foods. According to a 2010 article by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), consumption of artificial dyes has increased five-fold since 1955.
There are 9 artificial dyes used in our food supply that are certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Even though there are safe and natural alternatives available, artificial food dyes are a cheap way for manufacturers to make processed foods brighter and more appealing when you see it on a shelf in the grocery store. Manufacturers also choose artificial coloring because they provide more uniform colors compared to natural options.
Artificial dyes are also used to help hide the fact that many processed foods don’t contain much (or any) of the nutrients or foods they claim to have. For example, without Red Dye 40, the chocolate instant pudding would actually look green (because there’s VERY little real chocolate in it).
Although Red Dye 40 has been approved by the FDA for use in food products and must be listed as an ingredient on labels, it has been banned at one time or another throughout Australia and most of Europe due to health concerns.
