I'm sure Trump will reverse it. Just because.

Because fuck these scientists who think they know better than businessmen.
Bold of you to assume there will be an FDA under trump.
"I grew up eating poison, and your kids should be able to too!"
Red No. 3, already banned in cosmetics for being carcinogenic in high doses,
I wonder how high the doses need to be to be considered harmful / carcinogenic and if there's a cumulative effect. I pretty much live on those Mio-style water flavorings, and yep, Red-40.
Black cherry and orange vanilla mios is my jam, but I'd love it if they quit throwing dyes in there. I don't need my drink red or orange. Artificial or natural dyes. Just leave them all out of it.
Make all sodas crystal sodas!
Pepsi crystal tasted kinda bad...lol
Eh, it was a different flavor, they could have made it exactly the same but minus food coloring.
Pepsi and coke without the added colorings would be a lighter color brown. It wouldn't be clear.
Like ginger ale?
Maybe. I don't know about ginger ale. I thought ginger ale was really, really, light colored, though.
Carcinogens do not have a lower threshold, it is always statistics. So where do you draw the line?
It is carcinogenic if you have more than two sodas in a week, but who would ever want to do that!
From a completely different article:
"Several well-known soda brands use Red Dye 40 in their products. Here are some you might recognize:"
- Mountain Dew Code Red: Known for its intense red color, this soda is a popular choice among those who enjoy fruity flavors.
- Fanta Strawberry: This fruity soda uses Allura Red AC to achieve its bright, strawberry-like appearance.
- Big Red: A classic soda with a distinct red color, Big Red is another brand that contains Red Dye 40.
- Cherry Coca-Cola: While regular Coca-Cola does not contain Red Dye 40, its cherry-flavored counterpart does.
- Pepsi Wild Cherry: Similar to Cherry Coca-Cola, this cherry-flavored soda contains Red Dye 40 to enhance its color.
My step kid gets sores on his mouth when he eats anything with red 40 in it. There are very few choices that don't contain it, this list could be 100 pages long.
Useless Internet advice for anyone suffering with mouth sores. You might have a b12 deficiency. I got them a LOT less often once I started supplementing.
Simulants made them a LOT worse.
For most of my childhood, I would vomit 100% of the time after eating red dye number 40. It really was in everything and it was awful
Cool let's replace those reds with Red 69.
I won't apologize or be taking comments, sorry.
So now when I uncontrollably projectile vomit Red Hi C, how will I know it was fruit punch flavored?
One of my favourite cognitive dissonances is now asking anti-vaxxers if they think artificial food additives should undergo clinical trials to study their health impact before people start putting them in their bodies. (Spoilers: They don't.)
