Yesterday, the FDA banned Red 3 from foods and medicines.
While this is technically a good thing, its more of a baby step / half measure in the move toward a healthier society…
Why?
- Red dye 3 was banned from cosmetic products 35 years ago because of its link to cancer. 35 years!!!
- There are thousands of other additives that are just as toxic that are still being used in many foods, medicines, and other products. Most of these are banned in other countries.
- This particular ban gives companies TWO YEARS to reformulate the food products. A lot can happen (or be reversed or forgotten about) in two years.
- This ban gives pharmaceutical companies THREE YEARS to comply! Are you kidding???
- It solves 0.01% of the problem with untested food additives.
The best thing this ban can do is simply awaken the consumer to the problem and lead them to change what they buy and eat.
