FD & C Dyes & Sickness
Categories
..."In 1970, two Russian studies on Red Dye # 2 showed that extremely small amounts of Red Dye # 2 caused birth defects, stillbirths, fetal deaths, and sterility in rats. The report was translated and given to the FDA. It was ignored and forgotten."...
It really saddens me to see so many little children being fed all manner of strongly coloured liquids. With so much information already available for so many years why are the parents clueless on this most preventable health assault? Where are those expensive regulatory bodies? Are not they supposed to provide this info to the masses? Instead they are busy regulating generally safe health foods so more can get sick for their Medical Mafia friends. While the public is continually duped with all manner of pretense of health care! People like me are sick and tired of doing their work for free....
The following is extracted from: Ezekiels Medicine - Gods Low-Cost Health Care Plan! By Steve Coffman, B.Sc.
The book, which can be downloaded, from the above link is very interesting and educational and is highly referenced. However, I must warn the reader that, at times, it is very tedious to read. The fanatical quotations of the scriptures and the typical slant to use one's religion to justify one's own biass', can be distracting. In spite of this aberration it is a must read.

Vitamin C + Sodium Benzoate = Benzene - A Proven Carcinogen!
-----------------------
...It's in maraschino cherries. A coal tar dye called Red Dye #40 is artificially added to the fruit. There are over 40 of these Red Dyes; they are very suspect of causing female breast cancer; they also seem to cause other serious problems; (see below quotes.) Ladies, your husbands love you. Mothers love their daughters. Remove the cherry when you eat sundaes. Avoid anything with FD&C Red Dyes! Or at least take a LOT of C when you eat this poison!
While on the Red Dye subject, Dr. Frederick Stare, M.D., (see Chapter 16) stated on Barry Farber's show in New York City that all food additives, including Red Dye # 2 are harmless; they should be used . When asked if he wouldn't care to be more cautious and qualify his statement, Dr. Stare replied, since the body is composed of chemicals anyway, it makes no difference if more chemicals are added. 33 (Does this doctor care about the drugs he uses on his patients and what the side effects are?) Would you be happy with this doctor as your primary physician?
In 1970, two Russian studies on Red Dye # 2 showed that extremely small amounts of Red Dye # 2 caused birth defects, stillbirths, fetal deaths, and sterility in rats. The report was translated and given to the FDA. It was ignored and forgotten.
From the Dictionary of Food Additives: FD and C Red # 40:
This dye, approved in 1971; is a member of the family of Azo Dyes; it is widely used in the cosmetics industry. Allied Chemical has an exclusive patent on it. It is substituted for FD & C Red #4 in many cosmetics, food and drug products. Many American scientists feel that the safety of Red #40 is far from established because the manufacturer conducted all of the tests. The dye should not have received a permanent safety rating. The National Cancer Institute reported that p-credine, a chemical used in preparation of Red #40, is carcinogenic in animals. The FDA permanently listed Red #40 for use in foods and ingested drugs but only temporarily listed it for cosmetics and external drugs. FD means food & drug; C means for cosmetics.
Studies completed in the 1980s showed that high doses of FD&C Red No. 3 caused thyroid tumors in male rats. The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association argued that there was no direct carcinogenic effect shown at the low levels in use. But FDA decided that the evidence of thyroid tumors in rats was clear, and that additional research cited by the industry did not prove that an indirect mechanism such as hormonal effect triggered by the dye caused the tumors in the rats. FDA therefore rejected the manufacturers' petition for permanent listing of Red Dye # 3.
From a mother who has an ADD daughter; Most people who observed my daughters behavior told me she was hyperactive, but anyone who witnessed a tantrum advised us to get psychological help. The fall after she turned three, she was taking Ventolin syrup for breathing problems and her tantrums increased to one hour durations during the day and the nightmares lasted at least that long. I began searching for dietetic answers that could cause reactions and found: Red dye (especially No. 40) in the cough syrup causes severe tantrums; MSG causes aggressive behavior; artificial flavoring (especially vanillin); causes aggressive behavior. Also, she would have severe headaches after ingesting Red Dye # 40.
Most people don't believe me so I rarely say anything in public, but we discovered this when she was 3-1/2. Now she is almost 7, has made straight A's in school and has not had a tantrum in over a year or two. Every time she has a reaction I find out she has ingested one of the above. (Source withheld.).
The medical community (at least in my city) is EXTREMELY skeptical of any link between diet and behavior problems and I am usually either totally made fun of or at the very least, not taken seriously. (Source withheld.)
Estrogenic and DNA damage: Red No. 3 in human breast cancer cells: Dees C, Askari M, Garrett S, Gehrs K, Henley D, Ardies CM, Environ Health Perspect 1997 Apr;105 Suppl 3:625-32: "Exposure to pesticides, dyes, and pollutants that mimic the growth promoting effects of estrogen may cause breast cancer...Red No. 3 increased binding of the ER from MCF-7 cells to the estrogen responsive element. Consumption of Red No. 3, which has estrogen-like growth stimulatory properties and may be genotoxic, could be a significant risk factor in human breast carcinogenesis."
Ladies, Red No. 40 is commonly substituted for Red No. 3.
DNA damage induced by red food dyes in pregnant and male mice:
Tsuda S, Murakami M, Matsusaka N, Kano K, Taniguchi K, Sasaki YF. Toxicol Sci 2001 May;61(1):92-9: "We determined the genotoxicity of synthetic red tar dyes (amaranth) (Red No. 2), allura red (Red No. 40), or acid red (Red No. 106), new coccine (Red No. 18); currently used as food color additives in many countries, including Japan. The assay was positive in the colon 3 hours after the administration of amaranth and allura red and weakly positive in the lung 6 hours after the administration of amaranth...the 3 dyes induced DNA damage in the colon starting at 10 mg/kg with amaranth...6.5 mg/10 ml. with new coccine
this induced DNA damage in the colon, stomach, and bladder. Because the 3 dyes we examined induced colon DNA damage at a very low dose, more extensive assessment of azo additives is warranted." Food Dyes & Flavorings
Experts estimate that over 193,000 new cases of female breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2001. In the US, about 40,600 women will die from breast cancer this year (2002).
Authors note: The primary reason for adding Red Dye #40 to foods is to color the food red, as in cherries to make them exceedingly red for customer appeal. However, the author has found that Hostess Assorted Donuts contain Red Dye #40; it says so on the label. There is no reason for this; donuts aren't red!...

I began taking welbutrin and was having a hard time dealing with things and mostly could not sleep. I would have wierd dreams. My doctor told me not to have any thing with red dye in it to see what would happen. The dye and the medication would cause me to have halusinations. I have gone one month and 18 days without the use of dye. I can tell the difference because one day not thinking I ate cinnamon salt water taffy and again change in attitude not just with other people but mostly my self

My daughter has recently begun home school and we are finding that she write things backwards. I had no idea about red dye being an issue. Is there documentation somewhere about other dyes being an issue?

I too have a daughter extremely sensitive to Red 40. I am searching for any reactions to other colors. When she has had Red 40 she is totally uncooperative and seems "posessed." We have found the same reaction when she watches a lot of TV as well.

I bought some Diet Big Red soda this week because it has Splenda in it instead of Nutrasweet. Now my breastfed baby has a severe diaper rash. This is the first one in her 4.5 months of life. It is the only change I have made to my diet. My son tried the soda (without me knowing) and he was a maniac all day. Could the Red Dye #40 be the cause? I am throwing it all out!

My son had a reaction after bathtime when he used colored tablets that fizz in the bathwater. we thought it was contact dermatitis, applied aveeno lotion and gave him benadryl. the next day he still had a raised red rash on his torso and it spread to his face. the doctor prescribed antihistamine and said it looked like an allergy to something ingested. Later that evening, he drank red kool-aid and immediately had more red splotches on his face. I am now questioning a red dye allergy. Has anyone had a similar reaction? My son has had plenty of foods containing red dye in the past with no reaction. (the night of the reaction, he had a blueberry poptart and macaroni and cheese.) thanks for any input.

My daughter developed a sensitivity to Red Dye when she was given kool aid at school. Her face was red and blistered for months. Around 2 she started getting rashes on her hands and we found the cause to be the red dye in the soap we were using. It is in everything. You have to be so careful.

I have had migraine headaches for 5 years now and the other day a coworker told me his mother had migraines for years until she found out about red dye causing them. I took some chloraseptic sore throat spray last night and within an hour I had a migraine. It is colored bright red. Can some one tell me more about migraines in adults from red dye sensitivity?

I also found that anything purple may have red dye 40 in it. My son has just been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and our doctor wants us to try taking out everything caffeine and red dye 40 chocolate too. She says to put lavender oil on him to help calm him down during his school day and put some on his bed clothes too.

My 13 yr old son had severe problems in school, and for 5 yrs or so, the school had him on a behavior plan. The kept screaming about ADHD, and we fought it all the way. One Dr. at Mayo Clinic said to try the Red 40 elimination. As long as we avoided it, he was fine and he is fine now. Now with our 7 yr. old the school is fed up with his behavior and the new dr. we have is saying "No" to the theory of Red 40, but told us to eliminate sugar and see if he is not reacting properly to Ritalin (which a small percentage do). He suggested upping his dosage. But after reading all of these posts, I see the problem is with food dyes. I am eliminating all the Red 40 to see if I can get my sweet little boy back that people enjoy having around instead of being exhausted by. We have been coersed into the Ritalin game, and we are not happy with it. What happened to teachers dealing with kids instead of labeling them?

I totally understand.
When I was about 13 -14 I would stomach cramps when ever I hade Sonic Stawberry Limades. Now 26 When ever I consume any kind of Red Dyes no matter how small I go into an asthma attack and get a rash.
So I totally understand, and do have cousin that get ADHD symptoms when ever he eats it.

I am a true beliver of red dye allergies. My little boy went through 4 years of emotional rollercoaster rides. When I finally tried cutting out red dye as a last resort, I was amazed. He is now very calm, sweet and fun to be around. I try to educate people on this whenever I can. If your child is having behavior problems, just give it a try. But be careful, it is in things that you would never imagine. Red dye needs to be taken out of foods all together!

I am 17 and I have had mild allergies all my life. I never believed my mom when she said I was allergic to food dye. Now my symptoms are increasing. I have hives, eczema, headaches, and mood swings. I just hope it stops getting worse.

I am currently 20 years old and have had problems with my mood for many years. I get terrible reactions to Red food dye which include aggressive behaviour, rage, racing thoughts, unable to control myself, vomiting, thoughts of suicide, violence, and panic attacks. As a younger child, I was thought to be hyper active. When I was 19, I was put on medication for Bi-polar disorder. Everytime I have had one of these reactions I can trace it back to accidently ingesting Red food dye. It is very difficult to avoid all food dye as it can be listed to be natural colouring. I am now trying an all organic diet. It is very important for the person who suffers and the ones around them to check the labels.
