Isn't Red 40 the more concerning dye since it causes behavior issues in kids? Can't we just stick with using ground up beetles for our red colors instead of petroleum products?
Last I looked at it the support for that claim looked shaky. Can't we just use plant-based natural reds? No need to grind bugs when you can grind beets.
Can't we just have beige food?
You can definitely have that. Have mine.
The claim is dubious.
Anecdotally, I stopped drinking mio with red 40 and switched to something dye free, and I'm much better regulated.
But anecdotes aren't data. YMMV.
Okay, Doug Funnie.
My wife is actually allergic to Red 40. She has to make sure she doesn't ingest much. Not dangerously anaphylacticnorr anything just gets itchy and yucky feeling.
I was allergic to it as a kid, i would get huge rashes on my stomach and back and touching it even slightly would make to welp up. Very uncomfortable.
The wheel is turning finally and with this new administration we will see much more of this.
The ones that wants to deregulate food and medicine? That administration?
because our current administration did so much to help keep us healthy...https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/diabetes.htm
What a disingenuous deflection! Explain again how we’ll see “more of this”, which might be interpreted as banning harmful substances, so there’s an easy out for you! If only you would or could support your assertions…
Explain.. to you… who even are you lol
Oh sorry I thought you had a point that you were trying to communicate! Like, it’s not for me, but for the people.
You did not understand my comment and It is intended to be self-explanatory. I would prefer not to repeat information unnecessarily for someone who may not have fully understood it.
Most of that data is from trumps term….
Good job you can see the year! now compare those #s to your boys year so you can see how much they did for us. I guess people love to live in ignorance and still yap…smh
My boy? My brother in Christ I’m not even American but still know Biden is a neoliberal bootlicker
Explain to me what Trump (or brainworm guy) did to accomplish this.
you deserve no explanation.....because that is not what i said.
More of what?
This
You people just don’t even try anymore, do you?
Bro its not my fault you dont know what im referring too when its in the sentence. You gotta be able to figure this simple shit out if you wanna have a conversation about it.
Blah blah blah, and yet you still haven’t made a coherent point to respond to. Do you get paid by the word?
Just gotta learn how to read and comprehend, then you wouldn't be asking meaningless questions.
“The wheel is turning”, cool bro but towards what? “See much more of this”, but when asked what was meant by “this”, you responded, “this”.
You’re right, it’s my reading comprehension at issue.
Cool beans
Oh yay, you learned a native phrase! Your handler must be so proud 🥰.
Oh, except for the part where you put it no effort and just look like an idiot.
Im living in that little head rent free :)
...huh??
