Those pretty colors that make the "fruit punch" red, the gelatin green and the oatmeal blue are made from petroleum (crude oil) which is also the source for gasoline.
You will find them on the ingredient labels, listed as "Yellow No. 5," "Red 40," "Blue #1," etc. The label may say "FD&C" before the number. That means "Food, Drug & Cosmetics." When you see a number listed as "D&C" in a product, such as "D&C Red #33" it means that this coloring is considered safe for medicine (drugs) and cosmetics, but not for food.

Read the articles about how they use BHT to promote the growth of tumors in lab animals. With as many people that have cancer, is it a good idea to give them stuff that will promote the growth of it?

My daughter throws up if I give her anything with blue dye. I guess different people are sensitive to it. Many people believe its actually the dyes that are making kids hyper rather than the sugar. I don't know if that's true or not, but its a theory!

Many people are allergic to red food dye. You might want to be tested.
