What is your thoughts of food coloring being harsh to children's health?!


Question: Do you think that'll effect the sales of Easter candy?
Do you think that'll effect Halloween candy?
Do you think that'll effect Christmas candy?
Do you think all candy especially during Easter, Halloween and Christmas will change their choices of food coloring?
For example using beet root juice or strawberry juice as red food coloring, saffron for yellow food coloring, blueberry juice for blue food coloring, blackberry juice for purple food coloring, maple syrup or cocoa for brown food coloring and licorice root for black food coloring instead of the chemical compounds used?

Many children are sensitive (or allergic, if you must) to food coloring. My grandson is so hyper and naughty when he has sugar and food colorings. It is awful! Otherwise he is wonderful without them. There is always a natural way to make things pretty. Put personally, I would rather have food without all the additives and have them be their natural color.

It is? Man I must have halfway killed my daughter the other day making her paint out of food coloring and water lol. Kids have been using it for YEARS, and all of a sudden its hurting them? I don't buy it.

No way is it harmful to kids health. People have been using food coloring for years. We would know if it did 4 sure by now.

I think it's all hype and people being afraid of nothing.

Instead of blaming the coloring, look at the child's total diet. I bet these people complain about sugar and hyperactivity don't let their children go out and play or their kids are on the computer too much. In other words, the kids have too much unspent energy and are restless.

to be honest, i think it is very bad, blue
