Additives and Artificial Food Coloring or Flavoring

Most food additives such as preservatives, colorings and flavorings are not healthy for us. They are artificial...do you really want to eat something that is artificial? Did you know they put food coloring in pickles? The producers want them to look better in hopes we will buy more.

Here’s what one of my source books reports about the dye used in many food products.

"FD&C Yellow No. 6 (Sunset yellow) -- This has been shown to cause allergic reactions such as hives, rhinitis (runny nose), and nasal congestion. It appeared to cause tumors of the kidney and adrenal glands in rats, and it may be carcinogenic. FDA reviewed studies on rats and believes that this color is safe to use. The color is banned in Norway and Sweden. It has been used in sausages, candy, gelatin, and baked goods."
